Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your short description and I can understand your concerns.
According to the X-ray report ,you have fibrohazed(kind of scarring) in the apex of both your lungs. This is common finding after an episode of pulmonary tuberculosis . This is not a sign of active infection and no treatment is required as of now. All other findings are perfectly normal.
You don't need to worry regarding this and no treatment is required also.
Since you have a lesion in the X-ray you have to get a certificate from a pulmonologist that it is nothing but a harmless feature. It is just a formality and no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
