Lung cancer symptoms non-smokers warning signs early detection chest cough breathlessness

A persistent cough that lasted over a month and disrupted work calls turned out to be stage 4 lung cancer in a non-smoker. This real case highlights critical warning signs that non-smokers often dismiss, leading to late-stage diagnoses.

In this video, you'll learn:
• The subtle early symptoms of lung cancer in non-smokers that are often mistaken for common conditions
• Why a cough lasting more than 2-3 weeks should prompt medical evaluation, even without smoking history
• Red flags including breathlessness climbing stairs, chest tightness, hoarseness, and unexplained weight loss
• Why lung cancer goes undetected longer in non-smokers (lungs don't feel pain like other organs)
• When to request chest X-rays and low-dose CT scans from your doctor
• Environmental risk factors like radon, air pollution, and secondhand smoke exposure
• The importance of molecular testing for targeted treatments if diagnosed

Key takeaways:
Up to 1 in 4 lung cancer cases occur in people who never smoked
Non-smoking lung cancer patients are often women, people of Asian descent, or those with family history
Early-stage lung cancer has much better treatment outcomes than advanced disease
Simple home radon testing can help reduce your risk
Don't dismiss persistent respiratory symptoms just because you don't smoke

Remember: if you have lungs, you're at risk. Early awareness and prompt medical attention for persistent symptoms can be life-saving.
