Radon Lung Cancer Symptoms – Know The Signs

by | Nov 11, 2019 | Blog and News | 0 comments

Did you know that November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month? And while smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States, the second leading cause of lung cancer is due to exposure to radon gas. Long term exposure to elevated levels of radon gas in your home will put you and your family at risk for lung cancer.

Are There Really Radon Lung Cancer Symptoms?

There are many symptoms associated with lung cancer, but these symptoms don’t necessarily mean that you have cancer. Nevertheless, it is important to recognize any conditions of deteriorating health, and whether these conditions might suggest that radon gas may be present in your home.

  • Feeling weak or tired
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Pain or fatigue in hands and fingers
  • Aches and pains in the shoulder, inner arm, hands and rib cage area
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
  • Depression or mood changes
  • A stubborn cough that won’t subside – especially lasting eight weeks or more
  • Chest pain, especially when it lingers and/or worsens with deep breathing or coughing
  • Wheezing, shortness of breath or other breathing problems
  • Coughing up blood
  • Recurring infections, especially in airways
  • Irregular breast growth in men
