Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Dallas Mesothelioma Symptoms Attorney

The symptoms associated with mesothelioma are also associated with many other health concerns. This makes diagnosis and treatment of mesothelioma difficult. Patients may experience varying degrees of mesothelioma symptoms for up to two years before a diagnosis. However, due to the latency period before symptoms manifest — anywhere from 20 to 40 years — the disease has usually already developed into the advanced stages of mesothelioma once it is diagnosed.

Crain Lewis, LLP provides experienced legal advice to clients who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or who have lost a loved one to this regrettable disease. Our personal injury lawyers help clients obtain monetary damages they are entitled to in asbestos exposure litigation in Texas.

Do I Have Mesothelioma?

The development of tumors and presence of built up fluid between the layers of tissue lining the lungs, abdominal cavity, and heart can cause minor symptoms that may become more severe as the disease advances. Some of the common symptoms that patients with mesothelioma experience include:

  • Pleural mesothelioma symptoms: While the most common symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include shortness of breath and mild to severe chest pain, patients may experience a persistent cough, severe breathing problems, chest compression/tightness, and other symptoms.
  • Peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms: Common symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, abdominal swelling, feet swelling, digestive problems, and other symptoms.
  • Pericardial mesothelioma symptoms: Symptoms of pericardial mesothelioma are consistent with symptoms associated with other heart conditions and include shortness of breath, sharp chest pain, heart palpitations, and persistent cough.

Additionally, individuals suffering from any type of malignant mesothelioma may experience fever, fatigue, and other symptoms. Because the symptoms associated with mesothelioma are also associated with many other more common illnesses or medical conditions, it is important to advise your doctor of any employment history involving exposure to asbestos.
