Hi,
Yes they did a high resolution scan with and without contrast. I was hoping it was a virus or something that would show up on a scan but according to the radiologist there is nothing there. There are about 80-100 photos in the report. When I went to the ER 12 days prior to the CT they said that they found mild bronchitis on the chest X-Ray .They gave me steroids and antibiotics. I took them. I’m not sure what to do. I’m 26 but I feel 70. I feel so run down and out of breathe. No offense to anyone here.

Hi,
The pulmonologist just wanted the final report. He didn’t look over the scans but I did send him a few photos of the scans. He scheduled me for a breathing test. I’m still concerned because I’ve seen zero improvement in my shortness of breathe. I’m still feeling very run down. My throat always hurts and sometimes it feels like it’s closing up on me. I’m not sure if any of you have felt this way. I feel like no matter what I do I can’t seem to catch a full breathe. It also hurts to laugh and sneeze at the top of my chest.

Hi,
The primary care physician sent me a message that the scan looked normal. My pulmonologist wants me to forward him the report which I will do once I have it. He said primary care doctors miss stuff all the time. My question is are primary care physicians wrong often when it comes to reading and interrupting these scans ? Is pulmonary fibrosis obvious in a CT scan or does a biopsy have to be performed.

Hello Jay, I reviewed the results of your CT scan and I have good news that it shows no signs of any pulmonary embolism, no sign of any lung masses, and no sign of any inflammation. For now you can finish the prednisone, and use the inhaler as needed
