No: Asbestosis causes cough and difficult breathing. It is nearly always a result of prolonged (5years) occupational exposure. You have something else. Discuss with your DR.

Unlikely: Asbestosis can develop fully in as few as seven years. In other cases, it can take 20 years or more before a victim will begin to feel symptoms. Your current symptoms are unlikely to be related to asbestosis but you should have a chest X-ray if not already done. For more information see: http://bit.ly/1Kmjxoz and http://1.usa.gov/1RWiJcu
