Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Mr. Khan, In your history you have mentioned about the reports/finding of chest X-ray & CT scan. The condition mentioned here are, mostly reporting fibrosis ,Bronchectasis and volume loss in both lungs. Although as such both these condition i.e fibrosis & Bronchiectasis are not reversible condition , yet what causes these in your case needs to be evaluated so, that it may be treated, other wise, some times there are possibilities that these conditions may continue to progress causing further lung damage, such as in cases of Interstitial lung diseases. In my practice, If I come across some one with such finding, I try to find out the cause of that condition ,by detailed evaluation, examination and investigations, so that if possible the progress of these damage be halted or at least be delayed and what best the patient can expect can be explained to the patient.
