Cardiologist,  's  Response
Thank you for your nice question! Regarding your concern I would explain with simple words that: chest X ray film demonstrate pulmonary problems probably chronic ones; you must consult a pulmonologist; because according to the patient complains he could recommend additional exam to clarify the situation. Doesn't seem to reflect any cardiac problem.
Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings from Dr. Iliri.
