A recent chest x-ray showed my not here lung is nearly 1/4 cloudy at the bottom. What could this be?
I have never smoked, am within good strength, and breath easily even when walking up and down 4 flights of stairs. None of the indications I've read online concerning lung disease give the impression of being to apply to me. Part of me says "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.", but the other bit says "Early intervention is the knob!" Advice, please.
Answer:
Pneumonia, for one thing. However, short any other symptoms, it's likely not. Even though you've never smoked, you live within an industrialized world. There's noplace on earth where on earth you're entirely free of exposure to the toxic byproducts of industry, whether it's polluted water, nouns or soil. What did your radiologist say almost the appearance of "cloudiness" on your chest films? If it were something to be concerned in the order of, he/she or your primary physician would tell you.
A "cloudy" spot could be going to many different things such as fluid, mass or infection. Have a body PET scan or a chest CT scan to rule out anything sinister.
can be indicative of pneumonia too. aim consult soon as you can
