5. Shortness of breath
Shortness of breath is a symptom of an advanced state of some forms of lymphoma. In some cases, the tumor can develop inside your chest cavity, and even inside your lungs. In the beginning, there is no particular symptom, besides perhaps some pain or discomfort, but as time goes by, and the cells of your tumor reproduce and grow, the tumor itself will become bigger and press your chest cavity from the inside.
This will make it more difficult for you to breathe, especially if the tumor is inside your lungs, partially blocking your respiratory system. If this is the case, you will experience shortness of breath even if you are not exercising or doing any aerobic activity. People with such a tumor have difficulties taking a deep breath, so eventually they feel short of breath, because this condition changes their breathing pattern even if they don’t realize it.
