Hi,

I do not see any reason for thinking about a fatal disease at this point.

The only radiological abnormality in your x-ray is "Bulky Left hilum". This can be due to a large number of reasons. In general these reasons are divided into 2 large categories: minor technical problems that are out of control of a human being (e.g. slight inaccuracies in positioning the patient) and a true disease.

In terms of a disease, it is impossible to give you any opinion on your particular condition as I do not know anything about your case (e.g. your age, your symptoms etc.).

So, your best bet is to see the doctor who ordered the xray and discuss it with him/her. If s/he thinks that your x-ray findings might reflect your clinical symptoms, discuss with him/her the possibility of referring you for chest CT scan.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
I find this answer helpful
