If you have ever been exposed to asbestos or think that you might have been exposed, it is important to make sure that you are taking certain steps to make sure that your health is in good shape and if not, that you are doing whatever you can to be more healthy.
There are a wide variety of medical problems that can result from exposure to asbestos.
You want to make sure that you are as educated as possible so that you know what to expect and so that you understand what the doctor is talking about should you find out that asbestos exposure has caused you some physical harm.
You may not notice any problems from asbestos exposure right away.
This is something that may occur about many years down the road.
This is probably why it is so difficult for some people to remember that the cause of their medical condition could be a result of exposure to asbestos from twenty years ago.
Some people were never aware that they were exposed to asbestos.
It is not until they develop asbestos-related disease and learn about the causes that they learn that they might have been exposed to asbestos.
Pleural disease is a common disease that directly results from exposure to asbestos.
While pleural disease does not directly attack or infect the lungs, your ability to breath normally is affected.
This is because there is a lubrication secretion change that ends up putting additional pressure on the chest cavity.
This could lead to difficulty breathing, lung inflammation and other various lung issues.
There are actually four different types of pleura disease.
There is pleural effusion, which is the most commonly found.
This is typically characterized by a large amount of fluid build up.
Then there is pneumothorax, which is a disease that allows for air to escape the lungs and enter in to the pleural space.
This can result in collapsed lungs.
Pleurisy is another inflammation of the pleura.
It can be caused by many things such as asbestos, pneumonia, viral infections and the presence of tumors.
Symptoms of this condition include sharp pains in the chest area that might feel worse when you breathe deeply.
There is also Pleura mesothelioma, which is an asbestos-caused cancer.
In all of the malignant mesothelioma cases, all but one third are caused by direct exposure to asbestos.
This is the most serious of all of the different pleural diseases and is life-threatening.
It is important to make sure that you and your loved ones always remain free and clear of asbestos.
If you are unsure whether a building has asbestos, you should avoid it.
By taking extra precautions, you could be saving yourself from pain and suffering in the future.
