What Is a Lung Nodule?
3. Symptoms
Most of the time, lung nodules will cause no symptoms whatsoever. Indeed, they are often only found by chance when the patient is being x-rayed for something else. They do sometimes cause symptoms, however, and these will often encourage the patient to see a doctor to find out what the cause is.
When symptoms do appear, they are likely to include a cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Some cases might also cause the patient to cough up blood and this is certainly something that should be investigated further. Lung nodules can also increase the frequency of respiratory infections.
