Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma may include, but are not limited to:
Breathlessness (dyspnea)
Along with shortness of breath, patients may suffer from a cough. Rarely, patients may develop hoarsness or cough up blood (hemoptysis).Asbestos-and-law.
Chest pain
Chest pain is often nonspecific, and may sometimes be felt in upper abdomen, shoulder, or arm. Chest pain and breathlessness are the most common, and usually earliest presenting, symptoms of pleural mesothelioma
Weight Loss
Unexplained weight loss is cited as a symptom in about a third of pleural mesothelioma cases. Leek-caserole-tave-me-presh.
Pleural effusion
A pleural effusion is the result of too much fluid building up between the parietal and visceral pleura (linings of the chest and lungs, respectively); a pleural effusion may cause chest pain and difficulty breathing (dyspnea), however, many cause no symptoms and are first discovered during the physical examination or seen on a chest x-ray.
Night sweats
Less common, but still cited enough to be considerd a symptom of pleural mesothelioma are fever, chills, and night sweats.Amish-friendship-banana-nut-bread.
