Help interpreting results

by Mirmerq, Aug 30, 2007 10:03PM
Hello,
I am a little concern about my results from my last X-ray. I test positive for Tuberculosis and I usually have to get and X-ray routinely. I am 54 and weight 131 pounds.

Findings: Redemostration a mild hyperareation, possibly exertional, cannot exclude component of obstructive lung disease. Top nolmal to borderline  heart and vasculature. Few, punctuate perihiliar calcified granulomata, greater left.

Please explain, and be as thorough as you can.  Should I be concerned? I do not present any symptoms at all. I sometimes cough maybe due to dry air in my environment. I  have a healthy diet and try to be active.

Thank you,
M.
