- Abdominal pain
- Bowel obstruction
- Changes in bowel movements
- Chest pain
- Diarrhea
- Difficulty breathing
- Rectal bleeding
- Rectal pain
- Recurrent pneumonia
- Redness or a feeling of warmth in your face and neck (skin flushing)
When to see a doctor
Carcinoid tumors often don't cause any signs and symptoms. If you experience any signs and symptoms that bother you and are persistent, make an appointment with your doctor.
