The public should be vigilant about persistent coughs as they could be a sign of lung cancer, a new government advertising drive is warning.

The campaign, which is being run in TV, radio, print and online media, recommends people with coughs lasting three weeks visit their GP.

Research has shown the public are much more aware that lumps and bleeding are warning signs of cancer than a cough.

But the ads make clear persistent coughs should also raise alarm bells.

A persistant tickly dry cough can also be a sign of heart disease....

Yes I know, my sister had a tickly cough for ages and at times it got so bad she would have to get off the bus because she was embarrassed..and she was taken into hospital eventually with heart failure and an enlarged heart, she's fine now because oit was all caused by the flu virus which attacked her heart so it's righted itself..but she was told at the time that the cough is a symptom of heart failure..
I know that a cough is a sign of cancer of the lung and also a raspy voice that doesn't return to normal is a sign of cancer..
