Suggest Treatment For Chest Tightness And Breathing Difficulty
Question: Ok, I had a visit with a Pulmonologist recently, No Pfts but after my complaining of tight chest and difficulty taking a breath, he was confused because of the PFT tests that i have taken showing good outcomes.
He scheduled a CT and they just called me and said that he found something abnormal and wants me in the office in three days.
Not sure what abnormal means in this case. He knows I have thought of Emphysema and can tell me on the phone. he knows I have no signs of Bronchitis.
Any thoughts of what may be found on a CT that you say Abnormal but wont say over the phone?

It could be anything.
