Early symptoms of mesothelioma are more
often caused by other things, so at first people may ignore them or
mistake them for common, minor ailments. Most people with mesothelioma
have symptoms for at least a few months before they are diagnosed.
Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma (mesothelioma of the chest) can include:
- Pain in the lower back or at the side of the chest
- Shortness of breath
- Fluid in the area around the lung
- Cough
- Fever
- Excessive sweating
- Fatigue
- Weight loss (without trying)
- Trouble swallowing (feeling like food gets stuck)
- Hoarseness
- Swelling of the face and arms
Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma can include:
- Abdominal (belly) pain
- Swelling or fluid in the abdomen
- Weight loss (without trying)
- Nausea and vomiting
The symptoms and signs above may be
caused by mesothelioma, but more often they are caused by other
conditions. Still, if you have any of these problems (especially if you
have been exposed to asbestos), it's important to see your doctor right
away so the cause can be found and treated, if needed.
