  5. I'm a bit worried. I recently had a plain CT scan of my chest at Apollo Hospital in Chennai and it came back with some concerns. When I went for a medical check-up for Kuwait, the doctor said I was unfit because of something they found on my chest X-ray. They mentioned something about an abnormal chest and blunting in the right chest CP angle, and there's this white scar on the downside of my chest. I was told there's no medicine for it. What should I do to resolve this issue?

The discrepancy between the Apollo Hospital CT scan and the Kuwait medical checkup chest X-ray results suggests a possible error or misinterpretation; the "blunting of right costophrenic angle" and "white scar" may indicate a benign, old, healed lesion or scarring, and since the doctor said no medicine is required, you may want to consider a second opinion or a repeat CT scan to confirm the findings and clarify your fitness for work in Kuwait.
