I'm worried about my chest X-ray results and don't really feel satisfied with the explanation I got from my doctor. The report mentions a nonhomogenous patchy opacity in the right apical region with adjacent fibro-bronchiectatic changes, along with a few small calcific densities in the right upper zone. It suggests something about chronic infective etiology. Could you help me understand if this is something serious or if I need to be concerned?
