What Does the following chest X-ray Indicate?
II was diagnosed with Pleuracy this past March. It came back a month or two later. I have had pain in my lungs and am short of breath. I have been back in o the doctor and he says I have asthma or copd. I don t cough and don t feel like my symptoms fit either of those. I ve had two chest X-rays. I feel like the shortness of breath is getting worse. I just want to be sure I don t have lung cancer. It also hurts when I laugh.

It does not seem to be lung cancer dear so don't worry about that. But yes it can be asthma or copd. I can suggest you better if you send me the xray scan. Rest you need to start on salbutamol and steroids. Also can get a chest ct scan done for being more conclusive
