General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.

As per your X-ray report you have fibrotic(kind of scarring) lesions over the apex of your right lung.These changes are usually sequelae to old infections like tuberculosis. These do not indicate active disease and no treatment is required until you are asymptomatic.
All other changes are perfectly normal no lung diseases are detected in the film.
As per this report no further treatment is required,if you have any clinical symptoms like cough or breathlessness kindly consult a pulmonologist.

Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr.Shinas
