Headache
Thanh Nien newspaper quoted Express as saying that according to Dr. Deborah Lee, a clinician working at the UK National Health Service, the first feeling in the morning can reveal clues about cancer. Dr. Lee explained that brain tumors cause very characteristic headaches, which are often worse in the morning.
When you lie down all night, cerebrospinal fluid builds up in your brain because the tumor blocks its flow, which can make your headache worse in the morning. The headache then usually gets better during the day.
According to research published in the journal Neurology, about 77% of brain cancer patients suffer from headaches, characterized by pain around the head, concentrated in the temples or back of the head and neck.
Dr. Lee also noted that although most headaches are not caused by brain tumors, if you experience new symptoms that worry you, you should see a doctor to determine the cause.
Other telltale signs of a brain tumor may include seizures, feeling weak, personality changes, drowsiness, memory loss, numbness and weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, and vision changes.

Bad breath is hard to understand.
Your mouth smells bad every morning, not related to oral disease and not much better after brushing/rinsing, you should be careful with cancer. Especially when there are strange types of bad odors such as rotten apple smell, bad odor with a metallic smell, rotten fish smell, it shows that it can be a common symptom of lung cancer, bronchial cancer, stomach cancer and liver cancer.
Lung cancer causes mucus to build up in the lungs, leading to bad breath due to acid breakdown. Stomach cancer also causes symptoms of reflux, heartburn, and bad breath. Liver cancer causes toxins in the body to not be metabolized normally, increasing the level of ammonia in the blood, leading to bad breath.
Stomach-ache
Be careful with recurring abdominal pain for a long time every time you wake up in the morning. It can be caused by tumors of the digestive tract, urinary tract, most obviously stomach cancer and liver cancer.
Symptoms of abdominal pain due to cancer in the morning are often accompanied by abnormal bowel movements, such as diarrhea or constipation, difficulty defecating, frequent urination, and urinary incontinence. In addition to digestive tract cancers such as stomach and intestine cancers, malignant tumors in the bladder or kidney can also be mentioned. According to the New Women's Newspaper, citing the Aboluowang website, the British Cancer Research Organization also warns that abdominal pain is a symptom of bone marrow cancer that increases urination to eliminate excess calcium.
Cough
Coughing is considered one of the main signs of lung cancer but this symptom can also be worse in the morning.
Doctors say that with lung cancer, the tumor can partially block the airway and accumulate mucus overnight, causing a cough that is worse in the morning.
While sleeping through the night, the mouth and upper airways can become dry and irritated, which can also cause a more severe cough in the early morning.
Although a morning cough does not necessarily mean lung cancer, it is worth seeing a doctor. Dr. Lee recommends seeing a doctor if your cough persists for three weeks.
See your doctor immediately if you have any worrying symptoms such as chest pain, coughing up blood, or difficulty breathing.
