Symptoms for Mesothelioma<\/h3><\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Early symptoms of mesothelioma are difficult to identify and therefore often overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pleural mesothelioma symptoms may first appear as shortness of breath, chest pains or persistent cough or a change in cough pattern. Some patients however, may show no symptoms at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms include pain or swelling in the abdomen, nausea, weight loss, bowel obstruction, anemia or swollen feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

According to the National Cancer Institute, if you have been exposed (or suspect you have been exposed) to asbestos dust either on the job, at home, or via a family contact, you should inform your physician of your exposure history and any symptoms. Asbestos fibers can be measured in urine, feces, mucus, or material rinsed out of the lungs. A thorough physical examination, including a chest x-ray and lung function tests, may be recommended. It is important to note that chest x-rays cannot detect asbestos fibers in the lungs, but they can help identify any lung changes resulting from asbestos exposure. Interpretation of the chest x-ray may require the help of a specialist who is experienced in reading x-rays for asbestos-related diseases. Other tests also may be necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>
