Many of those employed in construction, carpentry, pipe trades, shipping industries and many other types of skilled labor face an increased risk for asbestos-related diseases including mesothelioma. Even though new regulations were introduced in the late 1970s many people had been exposed to asbestos prior to then.
If you know that you had asbestos exposure it is wise not to wait until you experience symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath as unfortunately, mesothelioma symptoms usually appear late in the day when there are few treatment options.
If you know you were exposed to asbestos you should talk to your doctor and ask for asbestos related tests and you should also learn about the symptoms of mesothelioma. In addition, look at your overall health and start a diet rich in fruit and vegetables. Also if you are a smoker, give up as that can improve the health of your lungs and reduce your risk of developing mesothelioma
