Oesophageal cancer symptoms: Prolonged indigestion could be a sign of the deadly disease

Unexplained weight loss

If you’ve been dropping the pounds without even trying, it’s alerting you to the very real possibility that something could be wrong.

In this scenario, oesophageal cancer could make it difficult to swallow food, thus you don’t eat as much as you lose weight.

Pain

The charity explained pain may be felt in the “centre of your chest”, in your back or “between your shoulder blades”.

This pain – no matter where it’s positioned – can worsen when you swallow or when you have indigestion.
