hi everyone
i've been suffering from ha for over 20 years. a couple of weeks ago i had a twinge in my back while working and my mind instantly went to lung cancer. the next day i started having breathing issues, where i feel like i'm breathing harder through my nose. my oximeter shows me at 99-100%.
being worried as i am, i told my dr and he sent me for a chest x-ray to ease my anxiety. he called me back the next day telling me.."it seems ok, but there was a 2x3 cm "opacity" on my lower left lobe, and to go in for another x-ray i about 2 months.
i freaked out, i asked him to send me the report and the radiologist suggested i go for a ct scan !
not sure why my dr said just an x-ray.
i dont have pneumonia, but i did go for an mri of my abodmen last year and they saw i had microatelectasis on the RIGHT lower lobe..so not sure im freaking out ...i do have a hiatel hernia..could this be the cause of the opacity ? is opactiy the same as seeing a shadow on the lung ?
