I Had A Chest Xray Due To Chest Infections .

I had a chest xray due to chest infections . The xray showed a shadow ( I already knew about the shadow because I've had it 30 odd years since a chest infection years ago )

They decided to do a ct scan the ct scan showed it was a fat pad . The ct scan showed tiny plaque and they decided it was not signicant .

I still have a cough but not other symptoms just phlegm . My sputum test comes back as infection .

I was very over worried so I ask why haven't I been ref to a specialist. So they agreed to send me .

I have no shortness of breath / no weight loas no wheezing and my breath test was very good .

Should I be panicked ?Are ct scans quite accurate
