What are the symptoms of myxoma?

Symptoms of myxoma may include:

- Chest pain or discomfort

- Shortness of breath

- Cough

- Hoarseness

- Difficulty swallowing

- Weakness or fatigue

- Loss of appetite

- Weight loss

- Fever

- Night sweats

- Swelling in the arms or legs

- Chest pain or discomfort is often the first symptom of a myxoma, and it may be the only symptom in some cases. Myxomas can block blood flow to the heart, which can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness. Coughing and hoarseness are also common symptoms, as myomas can irritate the airways and vocal cords. Difficulty swallowing may occur if a myxoma is located near the esophagus. Weight loss and loss of appetite are also possible symptoms of myxoma, as cancer can lead to a decrease in appetite and metabolism. Fever and night sweats are less common symptoms, but they may occur if the tumor becomes infected. Swelling in the arms and legs may also occur if the tumor blocks blood flow to the heart, leading to fluid buildup in the body.
