Is there any chance I can get around the visa denial issue due to the old TB marks on my X-ray? It's frustrating because I had TB six years ago, I've been completely fit since then. I really don't know how to get a clear X-ray now. Is there anything I can do about this?

What is meant by pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities? I got my CT scan report, and it mentions two pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities. One is about 44.7mm by 18.3mm in the posterior lateral basal segment and another 55.5mm by 26mm in the posterior and medial basal segment of the right lower lobe. Theres also a smaller one, about 12.5mm by 3.9mm in the superior segment of the left lower lobe. The report says there's no calcification or lucent areas in the masses, and no hilar lymphadenopathy or pleural effusion, thickening, or calcification. Could you help me understand what all this means?

there might be fibrosis at that point of lung ,that refers to opacities

I'm having some issues with hilar prominence on the right side of my chest, and it's caused me to be considered unfit for a job in Oman. I'm pretty worried about it and wondering if there's any way I can address or reduce this issue. What steps should I take, and are there any treatments or lifestyle changes that might help resolve it?

Hilar prominence on a chest X-ray could indicate an abnormality in the lymph nodes or other structures in the chest. The hilar region is where the lungs' arteries, veins, nerves, and bronchi enter and exit. Both hilar should be similar in size and density on a chest X-ray. If one hilum is larger and denser than the other, it could indicate an abnormality.so consult pulmonologist or thoracic surgeon

I'm feeling a bit confused and worried because my Spo2 level is at 98, which seems fine, but my pulse rate is pretty high. When I saw a radiologist, they mentioned something about increased bronchovascular markings. I'm not showing any other symptoms, so I'm just wondering, is this something normal or should I be concerned?

since your vitals normal no need to worry
