I had went to the hospital shortly before Christmas because my heart was beating funny. I got diagnosed with P.A.C.. Today I recieved a letter from the hospital notifying me that they had found a 7mm right upper lobe nodule. At the present moment I have no health insurance and am in the process of getting settled in a new state. I guess my question is what should i do now? Im not sure how serious it is and what I need to do.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.7\u00a0mm lung nodule should be followed up with repeat CT scan after 8-10 months. If this shows static or regression of nodule then nothing should be done. But if this shows enlargement of nodule or appearance of new nodules then biopsy should be done to rule out malignant nodule. If you are a active smoker then you should quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
