What Could A Spot In Lungs On Chest X-ray Be?
I have pain in my ribs next to my breast and a little lower...I lifted a couch in May that I should not have and it has been sore off and on for months now...what do you think it is...I went in to see about it in May and I was sent to have a chest CT scan because they took an X-ray of my ribs to make sure they were not broken and found a spot on my lungs (which turned out to be a calcification)...what could it be?

calcification a in chest X-ray or a cat scan are due to healed disease in the past
nothing to worry if there are one or two calcified opacities in the chest X-ray
healing of any infection in. the lung occurs either by fibrosis or calcification , mostly tuberculosis heals by calcification
consult a Pulmonologist and take symptomatic medicines as advised
thanks
