Chest x-ray concern

Chest x-ray concern

Recently had a chest x-ray after severe swollen glands  and lymph nodes around entire neck and collar bone, fatigue.  The x-ray report shows COPD or asthma possibility.  I NEVER smoked and do not have asthma.  No difficulty breathing, no phlegm, or cough.  I had a CAT scan and I should get results any minute.  I noticed on the film, a small circular spot on left side of chest that is visible from profile as well.
I have been on antibiotics for 12 days so far and I still am not feeling well.

I am not sure what I may be dealing with, the dr. will not say--help!

Hi,

It would be best to discuss the problem with the doctor. The nodes that are largely on the neck may mean a reaction to an infection in the nose, mouth, or throat. The doctor may have requested the Chest Xray to make sure that it isn’t pneumonia. The report given isn’t specific but it may well serve the purpose of your current treatment. There are criteria for incidental findings in order to select those patients that may benefit from follow-up treatment. Stay positive.
