Hello ,

I understand your concern.

I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

It is highly unlikely that you are having asbestosis.

Asbestosis occurs on the persons who constantly exposes to the asbestos or working in asbestos company.

HRCT, is the best diagnostic tool that can diagnose the sarcoidosis and asbestosis.

As you are working in the restaurant and fuel shop it is unlikely that you have asbestosis.
