Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, this can be symptoms of lung cancer.
Since you are active smoker, your symptoms can be due to
1. Bronchitis
2. Lung infection (pneumonia)
3. Lung cancer.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Quit smoking as soon as possible.
Treatment is based on diagnosis.
So consult pulmonologist, diagnose yourself and start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
