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.
Coughing up blood (hemoptysis) occurs in a significant number of people who have lung cancer. Any amount of coughed-up blood should be evaluated by a health care provider. Pain in the chest area is a symptom in about one fourth of people with lung cancer. The pain is dull, aching, and persistent. Shortness of breath usually results from a blockage in part of the lung, collection of fluid around the lung (pleural effusion), or the spread of tumor through the lungs.
