12) Blood Clots
Formation of blood clots in the lung vessels is not a specific symptom of lung cancer. It’s rather a complication that can further lead to various health problems. The clot can transfer into an embolus and travel from the lungs to other parts of the body such as heart, brain and blood vessels of the lower extremities.
The site where blood clot travels and blocks the blood vessels can cause severe problems like a heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis. These are potentially life-threatening conditions and may cause death or permanent disability.
