Early symptoms:   

When you notice these symptoms in the body you should never ignore them and get them checked as soon as possible. People working in an environment that has asbestos fibers in the air should be more cautious than people not exposed to any such environment.  Mesothelioma symptoms do not appear immeadiately after being exposed to asbestos. It is common for symptoms to appear 25-50 years after the initial exposure. There are instances where no symptoms are present. The onset of symptoms is gradual, and a person often experiences symptoms for four to six months before the diagnosis is made.Mesothelioma symptoms vary depending on the type of mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma Symptoms:

 Persistent cough

 Shortness of breath

 Chest pain

 wheezing

Abdominal pain and swelling

 Weight loss

 Fever

 Anemia

After the disease advances and spread to other organs, symptoms such as jaundice, bowel obstruction, bowel changes, and low blood sugar may be experienced.
These symptoms that are mentioned above can be associated with other minor diseases. Because of their common nature, but if they persist and you may recall being exposed to any form of asbestos then it is advised that you pay a visit to the doctor and get various tests taken.
