3 'pain' places on the body warn of lung damage

So how to know if the lungs are damaged or not? Be on the lookout for 'pain' symptoms in the following 3 places on your body:

1. Shoulder pain

Maybe very few people think that shoulder pain is related to lung damage. Don't doubt it, it's true.

Because the top of the lungs is the exit of the chest cavity, there are many nerves. When the top of the lung is severely damaged, it will press on the pleura at the top and surrounding area, causing symptoms similar to shoulder pain.

If you have symptoms of shoulder pain for a long time with no known cause, it is best to have your lungs checked.

2. Chest pain

Clinically, more than half of people with lung disease experience chest pain, often manifesting as dull or intermittent pain in the chest.

If chest pain is accompanied by cough and the body is increasingly losing weight, emaciated, even coughing up blood, it is necessary to promptly seek medical attention and treatment, it is possible that the lungs have been seriously damaged.

3. Sore throat

Throat and lungs both belong to the respiratory system, when the lungs are severely damaged, it will cause inflammatory problems, which will affect the function of the throat, thereby leading to a sore throat.

If your sore throat is accompanied by shoulder and back pain…. then you need to be on high alert that your lungs are being damaged. Get medical treatment in time!
