Hi,
How are you? Can you elaborate on the x-ray result? the location of the larger chest part?This could be due to musculoskeletal issues as well as pulmonary problems like atelectasis. If it persists, it is best that you discuss the results of the xray with your doctor have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
