15Extreme thirst
In a large number of patients, it is noticed that tumors in the lungs produce substances which cause noticeable changes in the body. A direct symptom of this is increasingly high levels of calcium in the blood, which results in extreme thirst.
Having a higher than usual level of calcium in the blood is called hypercalcemia. About 10 to 20 percent of people with cancer develop hypercalcemia over time. Not only are high calcium levels associated with extreme thirst, but they also lead to frequent urination.
Conclusion:
As mentioned above, lung cancer causing agents are all around you, in the air you breathe. One instance of being exposed to cigarette smoke or polluted air will not give you a lung disease of any form. It is prolonged exposure to risk factors which develop into cancer.
One of the best ways to fight cancer of the lungs to stay informed about the warning signs since early detection is vital.
