Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Symptoms of mesothelioma present, on average, about 30 years after the first exposure. The majority of cases, about 75%, develop in the lining of the lungs. When a person is exposed to or works with asbestos, the fibers can become trapped in the lungs, causing swelling, inflammation, and eventually more serious health issues such as mesothelioma. While those who work with asbestos over a long period of time are more susceptible to mesothelioma, some research suggests that family members of those who work with asbestos also have a higher incidence of the disease, most likely because asbestos fibers were brought into the home on shoes, clothing, skin, and hair. A Pennsylvania mesothelioma attorney can assess your history and determine if you were potentially exposed to asbestos.

Symptoms of mesothelioma include chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing, breathing sounds, abdominal pain or enlargement, loss of appetite, and weight loss. If mesothelioma is suspected, a doctor will do more extensive testing before making a diagnosis. To learn more about mesothelioma and its symptoms, contact a Pennsylvania mesothelioma lawyer.
