WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF MESOTHELIOMA?
Mesothelioma causes a buildup of tumor tissue surrounding the lung and fluid in the pleural space that prevents the lungs from moving easily and expanding naturally. Pressure on the lungs caused by this build up leads to pain and shortness of breath; two of the most common symptoms.
An individual with pleural mesothelioma may also experience:
difficulty swallowing
a persistent cough
coughing up blood
fever
sweating
fatigue
weight loss
back pain
pneumonia
An individual with peritoneal mesothelioma may experience:
pain or swelling of the abdomen
swelling of the feet
nausea
vomiting
hernia
difficult bowel movements
fluid in the abdominal cavity
chest pain
An individual with pericardial mesothelioma may suffer with the following symptoms:
chest pain
shortness of breath
trouble breathing
persistent coughing
chest or heart palpitations
Experiencing some of these symptoms does not mean someone has mesothelioma; only a doctor can make such a diagnosis after tissue has been stained or examined. In order to get a definitive diagnosis, a needle biopsy may be performed to allow for the examination of potentially cancerous tissue.
