Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough And Fatigue
I ve had a chronic cough off and on since 2000. Well, now its back again, and I ve been really fatigued, and noticed that my bones are really achy in my legs and my back is hurting all the time. Could this be lung cancer. And also a year ago out of the blue as I was talking I started to get really winded, broke out in a sweat, and almost passed out.

Hello,
Fatigue with generalized pain could be due to anemia or low hemoglobin. I suggest you to get complete blood count and peripheral blood smear examination to know the level of hemoglobin. The symptoms mentioned by you are not characteristic of lung cancer.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
