Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Upper lung suspicious lesions can be seen in following conditions.
1. Tuberculosis
2. Bilateral pneumonia
3. Old fibrotic lesions from previous lung infection.
4. Sarcoidosis rarely.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. CT thorax
3. Sputum examination for tuberculosis and pneumonia.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
