Early Signs of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

e) Shortness of Breath and Chest Pain

• What to Look For: Difficulty breathing, especially during physical activity, and chest pain or pressure.
• Why It Happens: If the lymphoma spreads to lymph nodes near the chest or lungs, it can compress airways or the heart, leading to breathing issues.
• When to Seek Help: Any new, unexplained respiratory symptoms should be checked by a healthcare provider, as they may indicate a more serious underlying condition.
