Understanding the Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Pleural mesothelioma affects the lining of the chest. Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma may include:

Shortness of breath
Difficulty swallowing
Coughing
Sweating
Fever
Weight loss
Fatigue
Swelling in the upper body, especially the face and arms
Lower back pain
Pain in the side of the chest
Muscle weakness

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