What are the warning signs of mesothelioma?
People with a history of asbestos exposure have a need to monitor their health for diseases caused by the substance, including mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer affecting the membrane that surrounds major organs. It would benefit them to know which early warning signs to watch out for; unfortunately, the disease may have no signs in its early stages, and be difficult to distinguish from more commonplace diseases.
Mesothelioma takes a long time after initial asbestos exposure to develop. The first signs of discomfort caused by asbestos can happen decades later, when cancerous growths begin to affect the organs. When the disease affects the lining of the lungs, symptoms will include shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing and fatigue. When it affects the lining of the abdomen, they may include lack of appetite, stomach pain and trouble digesting food. When it affects the lining of the heart, they may include chest pain and heart palpitations or murmurs.
What are the warning signs of mesothelioma?
Along with fatigue, fever and malaise, these can serve as warning signs and should all prompt the person to visit a doctor, even if they believe the symptoms may be nothing.
By the time symptoms get bad enough to prompt a doctor’s appointment, the disease may have progressed to stage 2 or 3. Mesothelioma is more treatable in its early stages, making it important to seek treatment as soon as possible.
