What Causes Dark Black Circles On The Left Side In Chest X-ray?

I recently went to the chiropractor who took xrays of my chest and there were dark black circles on the left side of my xray. I have had burning sensations on the left side recently and was too afraid to ask my chiropractor what the dark circles meant. They were really big so I hoped they were organs. What is on the left side of the lower chest cavity that would show up?

darkness in X-ray mean air..these dark circles due to multiple causes like bullae, dilatation of bronchioles like in obstructive lung disease etc... if u were my patient I would like to run some tests like PFTS ,CT,etc so that I can find out the cause n then treat it accordingly ..
I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
