You Cough up Blood

This is one of the more alarming symptoms on the list, partly because people generally immediately contact a medical professional if it happens to them. However, not everyone does. Some wrongly believe that coughing up blood is just due to irritability in the throat and believe the problem will go away on its own.

Coughing up blood could be due to a pulled abdominal muscle, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema. However, the most concerning reason behind such a symptom is lung cancer, so you should never skip on visiting a doctor if this ever happens to you.

Your Voice Changes

We’re all used to changes in our voices, particularly while suffering from a cold. Hoarseness and sinus blockage can both cause this, but if your voice hasn’t gone back to normal for more than a few weeks, it’s time to call an expert.

If someone close to you comments on the fact that your voice sounds different you should take them seriously. You yourself might not be aware of the changes as they may happen gradually.

This could be a symptom of COPD. Since your lung capacity diminishes you aren’t able to get the words out as you normally would. It’s best to not wait too long in the hopes of everything going back to the way it used to be.
