Sign and symptoms are shortness of breath, significant chest pain,and weight loss. one of the deadly aspect of this disease is that it will spread producing tumors in other part of the body, although in some cases the tumors are limited to the chest. Accumulation of fluid between the two layers of the pleural membrane (pleural effusion) often contributes to shortness of breath and chest pain

Mesothelioma is caused by exposure, many years before, to asbestos. It is in the lungs from breathing in the asbestos fibres. So one would get breathing difficulties with it, coughing, as well as pain, along with other symptoms. Pain in the chest could be lots of things. It needs to be checked out by a doctor..
