Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Unfortunately, there are no early symptoms of mesothelioma. A patient's best chance of detecting mesothelioma at an early stage of development is through receiving regular checkups for signs of asbestos exposure with a qualified physician. Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma may include shortness of breath, difficulty while swallowing, or having a persistent raspy cough. Pericardial mesothelioma symptoms may include chest pain, coughing, fatigue or having an irregular heartbeat. Peritoneal mesothelioma may carry symptoms involving fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain or swelling and the development of lumps under the skin on the abdomen. Due to the rarity of the cancer, very little information has been reported concerning symptoms of testicular mesothelioma.
