Seeking Medical help

Mesothelioma can develop between 15 and 40 years or more after an exposure to asbestos. If you have been exposed to asbestos in the past and you start to suffer from any of the following symptoms you should visit your GP and mention your concerns:

* Pains in the lower back, abdomen or chest
* A persistent cough
* Breathing difficulties, shortness of breath or a feeling of tightness in the chest
* Rapid weight loss
* Problems with appetite or difficulty swallowing
* Sweating, fevers, diarrhoea or constipation
* Nausea or vomiting
* Swelling of the abdomen

Some people with mesothelioma have no symptoms at all in the early stages; therefore, if you know that you have been exposed to asbestos in the past and believe it may be the cause of your symptoms, it is always a good idea to visit a doctor for medical advice. Any damage caused by asbestos may be possible to detect with a scan or x-ray
