Pericardial Mesothelioma Symptoms


Understanding the Symptoms of Mesothelioma


Pericardial Mesothelioma Symptoms

The pericardium is the lining that surrounds the heart. Mesothelioma affecting this area of the body is known as pericardial mesothelioma and symptoms include:

  • Heart palpitations 
  • Chest pain 
  • Shortness of breath 
  • Persistent coughing 

The early signs of mesothelioma are often similar to pneumonia with symptoms including chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and a buildup of fluid (shown by a chest x-ray). The most commonly affected lung is the right, approximately 60% of the time, while symptoms in both lungs are rare at 5% of the time. Mesothelioma symptoms are not limited to the above.
