Pleural thickening is the scarring and fibrosis of the pleura, the double layered membrane which surrounds the lungs and lines the inside of the rib cage. When the pleura thickens, it becomes less elastic which can cause a feeling of breathlessness. Most cases of pleural thickening can be attributed to exposure to past asbestos dust.

Common symptoms of pleural thickening include:

• Breathlessness
• Sharp pain in the side of the chest
• Persistent and hacking cough
• Sickness and loss of appetite

If you are experiencing the symptoms listed above, we recommend you contact us as soon as possible. We will liaise with your GP and can assist with arranging for a scan and chest x-ray.
