[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, this can be symptoms of lung cancer. Since you are a active smoker, your symptoms can be due to 1. Bronchitis 2. Lung infection (pneumonia) 3. Lung cancer. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Quit smoking as soon as possible. Treatment is based on diagnosis. So consult pulmonologist, diagnose yourself and start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
