Asbestosis is a form of pneumoconiosis caused by inhaling asbestos fibers over a long period of time. Asbestosis is also called asbestosis. Asbestosis is often seen in workers in the asbestos processing industry and cement products. Symptoms of asbestosis are mainly shortness of breath and a dry cough. As the disease progresses, it leads to pulmonary fibrosis that increases the load on the heart, which can lead to heart disease. A portion of asbestosis patients may develop lung cancer. If diagnosed with asbestosis, patients should be removed from asbestos-exposed work environment, take reasonable rest, give nutrition and early treatment to promote health. Patients should go to the hospital for regular health checkups to help diagnose the disease early and treat it in time. In addition, it is usually necessary to take protective measures in daily life to avoid contact with asbestos dust and do not eat spicy and stimulating food.
