15 Surprising Signs of Cancer
1) Loss of sensation-
You know that tingling sensation when your foot is " falling asleep"? If this feeling continues for an extended period of time, it's best to consult a Dr. Lack of sensation in one more body parts suggests a tumour near the cerebrum, spinal cord or nerve channels.
2) Neck and face swelling
Lung cancer can cause swelling in the face, neck, arms and upper chest, when a tumour is pressing against the vein that goes from the head to the heart, This particular symptom is called superior vena cava obstruction and is commonly caused by cancer.
3) Bone pain
Discomfort ranging from a dull aching sensation to shooting pain is a common complaint of patients with bone cancer. As the cancer grows, the irritation will be more consistent and will likely interfere with common movements such as walking or lifting.
4) Muscle weakness
We're all guilty of missing our exercises sometimes. However, if you find it difficult to do daily tasks like pick up a large book or get out of bed, this may be a threat of cancer- especially when paired with exhaustion and swelling. For e.g., lung cancer can spur muscle disorders around the hip area causing balance issues.
5) Fatigue
Who doesn't get a little tired these days? Although, long-term weakness and exhaustion could be more serious than you think. Paired with pain, nausea or vomiting, could mean cancer or other diseases. Simply be mindful of fluctuating energy patterns.
6) Weight loss
If you see your pant size shrinking without a change of diet, workout routine or lifestyle, you may want to guess the cause. Cancer cells use a bulk of the body's main energy supply and may even begin to change the way your body creates energy or protein, causing you to lose weight at a rapid pace.
7) High calcium levels
Hypercalcemia, or high levels of calcium in the blood, is both a sign and a consequence of multiple cancers- ranging from breast to lung cancers. This symptom can be diagnosed through blood tests by your doctor.
8) Bloating
Bloating is completely normal every now and then, but paired with other side effects like abdominal pain, trouble eating, or extreme fatigue, it is recommended to consult your doctor, especially when these signs are consistent. Many of these symptoms can be mistaken for that time of the month, however, it is always better to be safe than sorry as these are common signs of ovarian cancer.
9) Stomach pain
Stomach aches tipped off a number of people to liver tumours and stomach cramps or frequent upset stomachs may indicate colorectal cancer. Most patients with early stage stomach cancers have no symptoms so, " listen" to your body when you feel anything out of the ordinary.
10) A lingering cough
Not only is a persistent cough exhausting and downright annoying, but it can be a serious risk to your health. If your coughing continues for months at a time, it is likely caused by bronchitis, pneumonia, or post-nasal drip, but do bring this to your doctor's attention as a relentless cough can be a sign of lung cancer.
11) Heartburn
Frequent heartburn episodes or a consistent dull pains in the chest area eating can mean esophageal cancer, so always connect with your doctor for a screening to double check.
12) Painful periods
Many women reported unusually heavy and painful periods or bleeding between periods ( otherwise known as spotting) as the tip-off to endometrial or cervical cancer. Abnormal cycles isn't out of the norm, but it's wise not to wait for symptoms to exacerbate if you feel they're interfering with you day-to-day activities.
13) Sore chest
This symptom is not to be confused with PMS. In women, breasts that appear red or purplish in colour or feel hot , swollen, or irritated can mean inflammatory breast cancer, but we recommend being conscious of apparent bodily changes like this.
14) Swallowing problems
Difficulty swallowing or eating is commonly associated with esophageal or throat cancer, but can also be one of the first signs of lung cancer. A hoarse voice or strong pressure in the throat can be an early sign of thyroid or laryngeal cancer.
15) Wheezing
One of the first signs of lung cancer patients remember is the inability to catch their breath or a whistling noise while breathing. Thyroid cancer can also cause breathing problems paired with throat pain.
