Symptoms of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos exposure symptoms are a "red flag" that should send an individual straight to a physician — preferably a physician who is familiar with asbestos diseases (e.g., asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma). The sooner that an asbestos disease is identified in a patient, the sooner that his or her treatment will begin. This is particularly important for cancers caused by asbestos exposure.

Tell Your Doctor about Symptoms Related to Asbestos Exposure

Although asbestos exposure symptoms are somewhat 'vague' in that they could be signs of many possible medical conditions, an individual who is experiencing any of the following symptoms should tell his or her doctor about it and discuss the possibility of asbestos exposure:

  • shortness of breath, hoarseness or wheezing
  • a persistent cough that gets worse over time, or a change in cough pattern
  • blood in the sputum (fluid) coughed up from the lungs
  • pain or tightening in the chest
  • pain in the abdomen
  • difficulty swallowing
  • significant weight loss, particularly if it's unexplained
  • fatigue or anemia
  • swelling of the neck and/or face
  • loss of appetite

Factors Involved in Asbestos Exposure Symptoms

There are a number of factors that contribute to how severe an individual's asbestos exposure symptoms will be, including:

  • how much asbestos the individual was exposed to
  • how long the individual was exposed to the asbestos
  • the type and size of the asbestos fibers — there are six types of asbestos
  • the source of the asbestos
  • the individual's own risk factors, including general health and whether s/he smokes

Schedule Appointments with a Doctor and a Lawyer

If you suspect that you're experiencing asbestos exposure symptoms, schedule an appointment with your doctor immediately. Once your asbestos exposure symptoms are confirmed, it is in your best interest to contact an asbestos attorney who will be able to evaluate the source of your exposure and fight to recover compensation for the damages you incurred, including past, present and future medical costs and emotional pain and suffering.

  1. I am 29 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer, ease of treatment and a similar story, except for my first acceptance as a rejection of herbal medicine. I was not part of the Perseid movement and did not really build relationships with any of them, I just believed in their operation. I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heal my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years. Dr. Itua herbal medicine is made of natural herbs, with no side effects, and easy to drink.
