What does it mean if right pleural thickening shows up in medical tests, like during GCC medicals? I had an x-ray done on my own, and the radiologist didn't see an issue, but another one mentioned I could go for more scans although they didn't expect anything serious to turn up. What could be causing this, and is it something that can be fully treated?

I'm a 45-year-old woman and I've been having trouble breathing for the past 3 to 4 years. Sometimes it feels like I have to forcefully inhale and it's quite concerning. I've already seen many doctors and they've prescribed medications like Feliz S Plus and Beloc Plus, but nothing seems to really help. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next or who else I can see about this. Can you give me some advice on who else to consult or what other steps I might take?

I'm really worried because my latest x-ray showed water in my right lung. I've been dealing with a dry cough and a bit of chest pain when I take a deep breath for the past 8 weeks. Could this be a sign of tuberculosis?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised for the diagnosis .
