[|Human|] Went to the ER today for pain in my left abdominal area with pain when I took a deep breath. After a chest x-ray the doctor said it was pleurisy. When the nurse came in I asked about that,her response was my alveoli were stuck together. Should I have be checked for mesothelioma, I have done asbestos abatement since 89.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of mesothelioma is very less but better to rule out mesothelioma first as you have asbestos exposure in the past. So get done ultrasound examination of chest, chest x-ray and CT scan thorax. If all these are normal then no need to worry about asbestos is. Take simple painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
