Pleural Mesothelioma Symptoms

Understanding the Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Pleural Mesothelioma Symptoms

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.
