Illness
and symptoms do not occur directly following exposure to asbestos,
there is usually a long period of time between exposure to
the asbestos and the appearance of the disease. Early stage
symptoms can be confused with other illnesses or attributed
to lifestyle issues like obesity, smoking, or physical inactivity.
If you have been exposed to asbestos you should let your doctor
know, especially since mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer.
People with mesothelioma might notice pain or sensation
of heaviness  or
fullness in their chest or abdomen. Shortness
of breath is typical when pleural tissue is involved and
swelling of the abdomen if the peritoneal tissue is involved.
Typical symptoms of mesothelioma include chest pain, shortness
of breath, coughing, weight loss, and sexual dysfunction.
Some people may experience deformation of the chest wall and
abdominal masses that may obstruct the bowel in later stages
of the disease.
