Symptoms of mesothelioma does not always appear right away. It can take anywhere from 20 to 50 years after the exposure to surface. Shortness of breath, pain in the chest and coughing due to fluid in the pleural space (in between the two pleural membranes)are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma.
Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma(serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity) include:
weight loss
cachexia (which is fatigue)
abdominal swellin and pain due to ascites (a buildup of fluid in the abdominal cavity
Other symptoms may include:
bowel obstruction
anemia
bowel obstruction
fever
These symptoms will may occur if the cancer spreads to other parts of you body. May also include pain, trouble swallowing, or swelling of the neck or face.
The Affects of Mesothelioma in the Pleura can cause these signs and symptoms:
chest wall pain
shortness of breath
blood in the sputum (fluid) coughed up
fatigue
wheezing
coughing
In more advanced cases when a person has many tumor masses, the individual could end up with a collapsed lung. Tumors that affect the abdominal cavity don't cause symptoms until a later stage.
Symptoms can be:
a mass in the abdomen
problems with bowel function
weight loss
abdominal pain
abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen
In severe cases symptoms can be:
blood clots in veins
jaundice
low blood sugar level
pleural effusion
bleeding in may organs
