I'm a bit confused about the differences between asthma and COPD. They both seem similar with the breathing issues, so how can I tell them apart? Also, someone mentioned that having COPD could complicate things if you need surgery. Should I be worried about any specific problems if someone with COPD has to undergo surgery?
Asthma is seen in childhood, whereas COPD is seen i adults above 40 years of age.Asthma is triggered by allergens like pollen or dust , whereas copd is due to smoking.Asthma airway obstruction is reversible whereas COPD obstruction is irreversible Asthma is treated by inflammation and copd is treated with bronchodilators. A diagnostic spirometry differntiates betweeen asthma and copd.

I'm a bit worried about something I noticed on my chest x-ray. It showed fibrolinear densities in the lungs, and I'm trying to understand what this means. Just a little backgroundI had TB about 10 years ago and went through the 6-month treatment for it. Now, I'm about to have a pre-employment physical exam, and I didn't mention my TB history during the interview. Should I be concerned about this affecting my exam results or my job prospects?
Fibrolinear densities on your chest X-ray likely represent old scar tissue from your previous TB infection and treatment 10 years ago. These findings are generally not active disease but could raise questions during a pre-employment exam if not explained. Its best to clarify your history if asked, as treated TB is typically not a barrier to employment.
