Suspicious Lung spot seen by chance on Cervical spine MRI - is that bad?

[worried 2]

Hello,  please ignore my previous post, as I jumped the gun.

I had an unrelated cervical spine MRI, and by looking at my own films I see this suspicious looking area that shows up in my lungs just by chance (the small white looking mass at the very bottom).  The radiologist didn't report this, but then again, it was a spine MRI not a lung MRI.   If this was potentially bad would he have reported it anyway?    I am 30 years old with a history of smoking (but quit).  I will say that I have felt like my lung capacity is reduced and I can't get a good breath in the last couple of years, but I attributed that to becoming 30 pounds overweight again.  

What could this area be,  should I run to my doctor screaming about this or not?

Here is a good picture of the MRI

Ok, I had the exact same thing happen except that mine was an exray because I broke my collar bone.  There was a small white spot, way, way down on the Xray.  If the Xray tech hadn't circled it and denoted it on the reading notes, we wouldn't have found out that I had Valley Fever and I couldn't have consequently died of it.  Health Care is the patients responsibility.  You wouldn't be bothering your Dr. about it, he won't know if you don't ask.  Why risk the possibility of missing something that could be terminal in the early phase when you have the chance to catch it.  They get paid to answer questions and make us betther.  Ask your Dr., don't risk it.

I think what you are seeing is just a normal asymmetry of shadows.  That is why the radiologist did not report it.  To be sure, ask your doctor if the radiologist would take another look at your MRI films.

So should I "bother" my doctor about this?   I don't want him to think I'm a hypochondriac, but this does worry me.  Should I ask for a CT or MRI or PET?   Or should I just forget about it?    And again, for a couple years I have felt rather short on breath but I am not over 40
