just started with a new doctor and she heard a wheeze in my chest during exam. i have been on asthmatic inhalers for a few years as that was what i was diagnosed with a while back. however, been a smoker for many, many years. doctor gave me a thing to breathe into and said my capacity was not good. sent me for a chest x-ray and said they saw shadowing in my l/ lung . my blood work came back at this same time and everything was excellent. doctor wants me to go for a CAT Scan.....allergic to shellfish and now i m scared to death that something is really wrong. dr. assured me that the report did not say mass , etc....just recommended future follow-up.
As your lungs have decreased capacity it is high time you stopped smoking. As you are an asthmatic the wheeze just sows a narrowing of your airways. Smoking can worsen this. As there is no MSS in your lungs in CT a tumor can be ruled out. The haziness in your lungs can be due to an infection. You can take T Azithromycin 500\u00a0mg for 5 days to take care of this. You have to continue the anti-asthmatics you are taking now
