I'm a bit worried about what it means when they say there's a calcified lesion in the right hilum. Is it something serious? Should I be considering any tests or medication for this? Just trying to understand if I need to be concerned.

I'm worried because it feels like my deep breaths aren't fully satisfying, even though my normal breaths seem okay. After 7 to 8 regular breaths, I feel like I need a deeper breath but it's incomplete. Plus, I'm feeling kind of weak, maybe even feverish, but I don't actually have a fever. Could you help me understand what's going on?
