You may have trouble breathing when you move about. You may have a cough or some chest pain. Sometimes it may cause a low fever or make you generally feel bad. If you have sarcoidosis, you could have trouble with your eyes such as blurring of vision or your skin could break out with sores or lumps. You might have swollen glands in your neck or other parts of your body.
Many people have no symptoms and most are discovered by routine chest x-ray.
Often the disease goes away without any treatment. The cause of sarcoidosis still remains unknown, so there is at present no known way to prevent or cure this disease. However, doctors have had a great deal of experience in management of the illness. If you have sarcoidosis you can help yourself by following sensible health measures. You should not smoke.
