If you currently experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing or unintentional weight loss, it might mean that you have developed lung cancer or mesothelioma after you have been exposed. We strongly advise you to seek medical attention as soon as possible, as it is crucial when dealing with these types of diseases to catch them early. Undergoing a chest X-ray and a series of pulmonary function tests is the most reliable way of receiving a diagnosis.
