Usually, there are no signs or symptoms of Lung cancer that can be seen or detected in the early stages.
The main way lung cancer is treated is when it shows symptoms such as a cough or pain. Unfortunately, symptoms usually only appear when cancer has become too advanced to cure.
But some people may show early signs of lung cancer and it’s important to be aware of it.
Lung cancer can strike a range of bodily functions, and it may affect your laugh as well.

Chest pain that is often worse when laughing is a common symptom of lung cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.
Chest pain can indicate blockages in your lungs, such as fluid buildup, enlarged lymph nodes, and tumors.
Chest pain may also be worse when deep breathing and coughing.
According to experts:
It’s rare but some types of lung cancer cells produce hormones that go into the bloodstream.
A very rare type of lung cancer growing right at the top of the lung is called a Pancoast tumour.
These tumours cause very specific symptoms – the most common symptom is severe shoulder pain, or pain that travels down the arm.
