Tuberculosis Tuberculosis usually infects the lungs, causing a bad cough with blood, chest pain, fever, chills, and fatigue. Lung cancer (non small cell) Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer and can cause a cough, chest pain, and more.
Shortness of breath (dyspnea) Dyspnea is sometimes described as a tightness in the chest or an inability to take a big breath. Large tumors or the spread of lung cancer can cause blockages in your major airways as well as fluid buildup around your lungs. This buildup is called a pleural effusion. Pleural effusion can lead to shortness of breath and chest pain, common symptoms of lung cancer.
