What Does This X-ray Report For Chest Pain Suggest?
Hello, My mother is 61 year old and is suffering from pain in the chest region during movement and while jerks. I got her X ray done, report says Lung fields congested and increased broncho vascular markings.Heart is within normal limit. Doctor suggested for a CT scan. I have got that done also and report is awaited. While walking my mother respires heavily. Please let me know what it could be.Hope nothing serious. Thanks

Hi
Congestion in the lung fields could be an array of conditions, but mostly some sort of an infection. The CT scan should provide a more clear picture on the possibilities, but if I could see the xray I could narrow down the causes for you. But I am sure the CT scan will provide you with all the information you need.
Best wishes.
