Suggest Treatment For Pain Near The Xiphoid Area
hello doctor, i have pain first at near Xiphoid then it goes to right side rib cage and then its shifted to lower left side of ribcage, Xray shows everything OK, USG abdomen found all normal, but ct scan report shows that
lungs:interlobular septical thickening in apical segment of bilateral upper lobe due to fibrosis.
few fibrotic bands seen in left lower lobe near diaphragm.
pluera, trachea &bronchi,mediastinum, chest wall normal.
impression- old fibrosis in apical segment of bilateral upper lobe due to old koch's.no active lung lesion seen.

Welcome at HCM
i have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns....
Ct findings are probably due to infection of lungs ..most probably it was tuberculosis which you had suffered in past...
Now the pain which you have described doesn't seem to be associated with these lung changes... Have you suffering from fever? Any cough ? Any heart burn? Any previous history of diabetes or hypertension??
In my opinion you should consult physician so that you can be examined properly for definitive diagnosis...
Stay safe and get well soon
