Pre death symptoms of advanced lung cancer

summary

My grandfather has lung cancer. He coughs every day and he always feels out of breath. The family spent a lot of medical treatment, but it was still of no help. Looking at my grandfather's advanced lung cancer, he was suffering from the disease every day, and he was very distressed. Now I'd like to talk about the pre death symptoms of advanced lung cancer.

Pre death symptoms of advanced lung cancer

First, the chest fluctuates a lot during breathing a week before death, especially at night when the breath is tight. The voice of phlegm in the throat is very heavy. A few minutes before death, the patient goes into a coma state, and his breathing becomes irregular and weak. Finally, he will breathe in without exhaling, lie on his side, and flow a lot of phlegm and liquid out of his mouth. The symptoms at the last moment of death are not a single phenomenon, but the complete failure of various systems of the human body. The symptoms before death vary from person to person.

Second, the local symptoms of advanced lung cancer are severe. The common symptoms are hoarseness, chest pain, edema, shortness of breath, pleural effusion and hemoptysis, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even endanger their lives. 　

Third: 1. Hoarseness is a common symptom of advanced lung cancer. It is because the tumor continues to expand and invade the left side of the mediastinum to compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, resulting in hoarseness. Generally, patients have no upper respiratory symptoms or sore throat reaction. 2. Chest pain is intermittent dull pain or stuffy pain. When the lung cancer develops to the advanced stage, the tumor invades the pleura, resulting in the aggravation of pain. Peripheral lung cancer can have chest pain, shoulder and back pain, upper limb pain, hypochondriac neuralgia, etc., which can make the patients feel unbearable pain. 3. Obstruction of lung lymph nodes or larger bronchus by dyspnea tumor can lead to pleural effusion or shortness of breath, causing chest tightness, shortness of breath or asphyxia, which is life-threatening.

matters needing attention

In the late stage of lung cancer, liver and brain metastasis may occur, such as hepatomegaly, yellow mark, vomiting or coma; in the early stage of bone metastasis, there are generally no symptoms, and bone isotope scanning can find diseased bones; in the right upper mediastinal lymph node metastasis, edema and jugular vein distention may occur; in the late stage of lung cancer, cachexia may occur, and the main clinical manifestations are extremely severe Degree of emaciation, fatigue, neurasthenia, mental malaise, etc.
