What Does This Chest X-ray Report Indicate?

I got an X-ray done of my chest (PA) yesterday. The report says as under : Few fibro streaks in both upper zones.Both lung fields are clear. Both costophrenic angles are clear. Both hila show a normal pattern. Cardiac and mediastinal borders appear normal. Unfolding of aorta noted. Is everything normal? If not, what is the remedial measures to be taken? Thanks & Regards

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that this X-ray report is showing fibrotic changes which needs a pulmonologist consultation for better management.
Unfolding of aorta is an abnormality visible on chest x-ray which is mimicking Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm which further needs to be evaluated further if it is present or not. Kindly consult a Cardiologist personally for physical and diagnostic evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
