Symptoms Of Thymoma

Persistent Cough

Dreamstime

Coughing is the body's way of removing foreign material from the lungs and air passageways to help you to breathe more freely. Because thymoma can press on structures that affect breathing, any restriction in the flow of air may lead to an increase in this protective function. Additionally, cancerous tissue can spread to the outer lining of the lungs. Inflammation and irritation of this lining can lead to coughing as a way to open up breathing passageways. If you suddenly develop this symptom and it does not go away despite home treatment or over-the-counter remedies, check with your physician to rule out the possibility of thymoma.
