Asbestosis
Asbestosis is a serious, unremitting, fibrous hardening and scarring of the lungs. This scarring can cause lung impairment and heart disease. Symptoms of asbestosis include shortness of breath, coughing and a dry crackling sound while inhaling. Asbestosis is a slowly progressive disease with a development period of 15 to 30 years or more.
Asbestosis symptoms
The most common symptoms of asbestos exposure are:
- shortness of breath
- coughing
- chest pain
- a dry crackling sound in the lungs while inhaling
- weight loss
- lack of or difficulty sleeping
Unfortunately, the detectable symptoms of asbestos exposure can often appear as early as 15 years after exposure which makes it difficult to associate asbestos exposure with its symptoms. Annual asbestos detection tests are recommended for anyone with occupational asbestos exposure.
