I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, especially when I go up the stairs. It feels like I'm getting out of breath really quickly. Can you tell me what test I should get to figure out what's going on?
The test you may need is called Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). This test can help evaluate how well your lungs are working and identify any breathing problems. In the meantime, you can use a bronchodilator inhaler like Ventolin (albuterol) as needed for relief. The usual dosage is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath.

I recently got a chest X-ray after being treated for pulmonary TB back in 2002. I was cured after taking medication for six months. Now, my X-ray report from March 16, 2017, shows calcified fibro nodular densities in both upper lung fields, but everything else seems finelungs are clear, trachea's in the midline, heart's not enlarged, and the costophrenic angles are sharp and distinct. The report concludes there's a chronic inflammatory process in both upper lung fields. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a little concerned and would appreciate your insight.
Based on the X-ray findings, the calcified fibronodular densities in both upper lung fields suggest scarring from a past tuberculosis infection, which is common after successful treatment. These changes are generally stable and not a cause for concern, but its important to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring.
