Does Wheezing Indicate Symptom Of Lung Cancer?
From the past month m suffering from weezing.. my blood test has shown that my eosinophil is more.. How ever chest xray does not show any problems .. M under medication from the last one month.. I am fine under medication but once the course of medicine is stopped my weezing triggers again . Does it really take this long for this to be cured . . I am worried as I read that it could be a symptom of lung cancer .Please do help

Wheezing is due to allergic reaction. Eosinophil count will increase in allergy.
Lung cancer presentation is entirely different. It doesn't generally present as wheezing.
