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?

View allI've been having trouble with my breathing when I walk. It feels like I'm not taking full breaths, and there's this heaviness in my chest. I've had an X-ray, CT scan of my chest, an ECG, and a 2D echo of my heart, and everything came back normal. I'm really confused about what could be causing this. Any ideas?

I'm noticing a slight whistling sound when I breathe through my mouth, and it feels like something's clogged. It's been lingering for a while now. I used to be a smoker but quit quite some time ago.

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
