Symptoms of carcinoid tumor depend on where the tumor is growing and whether the tumor is producing hormones and other chemicals (carcinoid syndrome). If you have a tumor that is not causing carcinoid syndrome, you may have no symptoms at all and your tumor may be discovered during a routine exam.

Symptoms of tumors not causing carcinoid syndrome may include:

• Abdominal pain or pressure
• Change in bowel habits
• Blood in a bowel movement
• Chest pain
• Cough
• Wheezing
• Blood-tinged sputum
• Weight loss

Symptoms caused by carcinoid syndrome may be triggered by exercise, stress, and some foods or drinks, such as alcohol (especially red wine), chocolate, and certain cheeses. These are common symptoms:

• Flushing of your face
• Diarrhea
• Asthma
• Fainting
• Heart palpitations
