I'm a bit worried about my recent x-ray results. It says there's a horizontal fissure and small granulomas in the left mid-zone. I had a cough last year, and I'm wondering if this is something serious. Should I be concerned or consider getting treatment?

View allI'm really worried about my health after getting some tests done. My esionophils count is at 10.5 and my general doctor had me do a chest x-ray, which showed signs of COPD. But the thing is, I hardly ever smoke. So I went to see a pulmonologist, and they had me do a PFT, and I've attached those reports here. I'm really nervous about whether this is COPD or asthma. I have a cough, and sometimes a little phlegm comes up. Last year, I had a brief time where I felt short of breath while sleeping, but it went away in a day or two and hasn't happened since. No other symptoms apart from a cough starting mostly after March when I had a throat infection. I took antibiotics and ab phyllin, and now my cough is occasional. My esionophils are 10.5, and my IgE serum is at 400. Also, my mom, who's 60, has an asthmatic tendency. Can you help me figure out if this is COPD or asthma, and is it something that can get better? I don't smoke, drink, or work around chemicals...
it is asthma , if you have symptoms then only proceed with medication, otherwise take it whenever it is required

I'm worried about a scar or spot on my lungs mentioned during a medical fitness exam. Can you explain what this means? Is it something I should be concerned about?

I've got a positive TB gold test, but my sputum for AFB and TB CBNAAT tests came back negative. I don't even have a cough. The CT scan of my abdomen showed lymph nodes in the right iliac fossa, but my gastro doctor couldn't spot them during a colonoscopy. How do I figure out if the TB is active or latent? Would an FDG whole body PET CT help clarify whether it's active or latent TB? I'm a bit confused and could really use some guidance on what to do next.
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
