#7 Puffiness in the upper body and eye problems
The progression of lung cancer can occasionally result in tumors that block the major vein that returns blood from the head and arms to the heart. Blood backs up in the veins as a result of the interrupted flow. This extra fluid may cause edema of the face, neck, upper chest, and arms. The skin in certain regions may also appear bluish red.
Horner Syndrome is a syndrome that causes drooping eyelids, a tiny pupil, and a decreased capacity to sweat on one side of the face. This discomfort, which is associated with advanced lung cancer, develops when the disease has progressed to nerves in the neck. If cancer spreads to the nerves in the neck, it can cause facial paralysis.
