Asbestosis Symptoms do not manifest immediately after asbestos poisoning. that is a bad part of this asbestos infection and can give the person or persons a false sense of security in a way. you see, it can take anywhere from 20 – 40 years for asbestosis symptoms to begin.
Asbestosis Symptoms: What is it?
Asbestosis is an inflammatory lung condition brought on by the inhalation of asbestos fibers over a long period of time.
Asbestos Symptoms: How did I get it?
The asbestos fibers become lodged in the lungs and can affect both the person exposed directly to the fibers or the families of the exposed. at some point you were working in an environment which either had asbestos dust floating around or there were products containing asbestos being used. Such as construction, auto mechanic, and other industries. you breathed in the fibers and now they are in your lungs. mostly, the worse the amount of asbestos dust in the air, and the longer amount of time you were exposed; the worse your asbestos poisoning will be.
Asbestos Symptoms: What are they?
- Tight chest
- Lungs making a crackling sound
- A constant cough
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath – usually when one exerts themselves, then as the disease progresses the shortness of breath is all the time. Even when resting. this is the main asbestosis symptom.
- Finger and finger nail deformity – usually a more advanced asbestosis symptom and the actual term is called ‘clubbing.’ the tips of the finger nails are rounded and the finger tips are spread out more. however other health problems can cause this symptom as well.
Asbestosis Symptoms: When should I seek help?
If your career or your personal history has had you exposed to asbestos, if you have shortness of breath, and a cough that will not go away. Talk to your doctor as soon as possible about your concern of asbestosis. give him your full, honest exposure degree.
Asbestosis Symptoms are nothing to be nonchalant about, take this serious, get help. if you smoke, quit. My father would have lived years longer if he would have quit, now he is gone. do not let the tobacco steal your minutes away from you and take away time you could be alive and spend with your loved ones. I wish my dad would have quit the day they first found the spots on his lungs. Stop thinking of yourself and think of your family and the more quality time you can spend with them.
