i have had a heaviness in my right lung.  2 years ago I had bronchitis and they heavy feeling went away partly but recently it is back with no cough but some sharp pains.  I am not a smoker and it worries me that 30 years ago I had a summer job that cleaned asbestos lined tank for a couple of weeks.  What could this be?
Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor .... Your work is related to asbestos.... So pneumoconiosis can be there ... For that chest x-ray done.... It is occupational lung disease .... It is form of restrictive disease... Asbestose can lead to fibrosis or mesothelioma like problem.... Even it can lead malignant mesothelioma. So regular follow up done for this asbestos related lung disease.... Take care.... Avoid smoking as it can lead fibrosis... Chat Doctor.
