Asbestos-Induced

 Asbestosis is long run inflammation and scarring of the lungs because of asbestos fibers. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, cough, wheezing, and chest tightness. Complications may include carcinoma, mesothelioma, and pulmonary heart condition. The signs and symptoms of asbestosis typically manifest after a major amount of your time has passed following asbestos exposure, often several decades under current conditions within the US. The first symptom of asbestosis is usually the slow onset of shortness of breath, especially with physical activity. Clinically advanced cases of asbestosis may cause respiratory failure. When a physician listens with a stethoscope to the lungs of an individual with asbestosis, they will hear inspiratory crackles.
