Most Common Mesothelioma Symptoms
Dry Cough or Wheezing
Shortness of Breath
(dyspnea)
Respiratory Complications
or Difficulty Breathing
Pain in the Chest or Abdomen
Fever
Pleural Effusions
Anemia
Muscle Weaknes
Unfortunately,
asbestosis and mesothelioma symptoms, like coughing, chest pain and
difficulty breathing, mirror many other types of lung-related diseases.
Symptoms can be different based on the type of cancer and can be vague
and mild even as the disease progresses into a later stage. Early signs
can be so slight that they are mistaken as normal aches and pains or
symptoms of other illnesses, making asbestos-related cancer hard to
detect.
By
the time someone identifies warning signs, the cancer often has spread,
making it difficult for doctors to treat. Recognizing symptoms early
and informing your doctor about any history of asbestos exposure can
help lead to an earlier-than-normal diagnosis and a much better chance
of a potentially curative therapy.
