My recent chest xray shows there is some improvement of patchy parenchymal densities in middle lobe and left lung base with some residual parenchymal disease in middle lobe. A prior cxr 3 months ago was done and MD said touch of pneumonia and bronchitis deoxy did not help at that time. coughing for past 6 months with occas. clear sputum. No chest pain, no SOB, no asthma, non-smoker, 62 yo fe. I am able to hike and walk upstairs with no problem. coughing is not worse, just not getting better.
