Question

I'm trying to understand the results of my recent HRCT scan, which showed small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe. I'm not currently experiencing any health issues, so should I be worried about this finding? Is it something serious?

The HRCT report indicates a small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe, which suggests some scarring or fibrosis in the lung tissue. While this could be due to past inflammation or mild injury, it's important to monitor and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. It's not necessarily a serious issue, but it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

I'm having a really hard time sleeping because every time I close my eyes, I wake up almost right away feeling like I can't breathe. This mainly happens during the day when I try to nap. I've been going to bed really late, like after 2 a.m. Could that be causing it, or is something else going on?
