What is asbestosis?
Asbestosis is a debilitating chronic lung condition that arises from continued exposure to asbestos. This toxic substance poses severe health risks when its microscopic fibres are inhaled over an extended period. Asbestosis represents one of the grave consequences of such exposure, causing irreversible damage to the respiratory system, and in some instances, even posing a life-threatening risk.
Are you eligible to make a claim?
You may be eligible to make an asbestosis claim if-
- You have been diagnosed or suspect you have asbestosis
- You develop lung cancer and have worked around asbestos
- You have mesothelioma (rare cancer of the chest and stomach lining)
- You have been diagnosed with pleural effusions (this can be caused from exposure to asbestos)
- You have been diagnosed with pleural thickening
Please keep in mind even without a diagnosis you can still begin a claim with us. The best way to see if you qualify is to speak to our highly experienced experts.
What are the symptoms of asbestosis?
The symptoms of asbestosis can take many years to manifest, often becoming noticeable decades after initial asbestos exposure.
Exposure to asbestos can cause:
1. Shortness of Breath: Asbestosis gradually reduces lung capacity, making it progressively harder for affected individuals to breathe. This breathlessness may become particularly pronounced during physical activity.
2. Persistent Cough: A persistent and often dry cough is a typical early sign of asbestosis. This symptom can be distressing and disruptive to daily life.
3. Wheezing: Wheezing, a high-pitched whistling sound produced during breathing, can occur as the air passages narrow due to scarring in the lungs.
4. Fatigue: The reduced ability to oxygenate the blood can lead to extreme tiredness or fatigue, which can impact an individual’s quality of life.
5. Chest Pain: Some individuals with asbestosis experience chest discomfort or pain due to the strain on their lungs and respiratory muscles.
6. Clubbed Fingertips: In advanced cases, the fingertips may become swollen and take on a clubbed appearance, which is a sign of severe oxygen deprivation.
It’s important to note that while these symptoms are commonly associated with asbestosis, there can be variations in presentation among individuals.
