You Have Seemingly Random Shoulder Pain
Are you experiencing random shoulder pain? If you haven’t done any exercises, hurt yourself, or lifted anything heavy then the reason behind your pain could be something other than the usual strained muscle or inflammation.
This may be a sign of lung cancer and it has been widely observed in smokers. That’s because certain types of tumors could affect the shoulder on the same side of the body as the lung that is affected.
Furthermore, this is a pretty early symptom, so don’t ignore it even if you haven’t experienced any other type of respiratory distress. Schedule an appointment with a doctor ASAP!
Your Fingernails Are Turning Blue
If your fingernails are turning blue it means you are suffering from a condition that is keeping oxygen from getting to your tissues.
This is also known as cyanosis, so you should start observing your lips, skin, and nail beds in case they take a gray or blueish hue. The color might even shift to a dark purple, meaning the disease has progressed.
The colors might even appear suddenly during an acute COPD attack, in which case you need to visit a doctor as soon as possible!
