I caught a round of bronchitis and the dr. sent me for chest Xrays. It came back showing suspicion of aorta unfolding. I will be seeing a Heart Specialist in a week, is there anything I need to do or be concerned about. I feel Great
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think you should treat your bronchitis with antibiotics since it has been a long time that you have cough. Also you should do an aortography for aorta to see if you should cure it or keep it in observation according to the percentage of the defect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
