Have a lot of anxiety du to asbestos xposure 3mo ago. been constpatd for days. could it be from xposure, anxiety or blockage. have bm's but strain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concerns: The major risks of asbestos have been with substantial exposure over substantial time. Navy in ships, asbestos miners, some construction projects. Dusty and unprotected airway. Pulmonary disease and mesothelioma are known risks later in life. As to bowels, take more fluid, prunes, natural techniques rather than getting involved with laxatives.
