The symptoms listed are some of the most common symptoms of lung cancer, however they could also be signs of other things as well, all of which a doctor would want to see you for:
Asthma
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

It could be nothing to worry about, but it's worth getting checked to make sure.

Who we are
PEOPLE Hull is a research programme being delivered by Hull York Medical School (HYMS), and funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research.
The project aims to look at lung health in Hull and encourage those experiencing symptoms of poor lung health to visit medical professionals. The earlier symptoms are caught the better the chances for survival.
The lung health campaign is running alongside a study being
conducted by the medical school looking at attitudes around visiting the
doctors. Evaluations at the end of the campaign will be used to find out whether
more people in Hull know about the symptoms of poor lung health and whether the
number of people attending GPs for early diagnosis of lung cancer or other
conditions has increased.
