opacity in upper lobe

What is the meaning of "suspicious faint opacity in upper lobes" from my xray results? I have been asked to have an apicolordotic view, but Im still waiting for the results. What diseases is this associated with? I am not losing weight nor having fever or sweating during the night.

Consider streaky opacities, left upper lung may represent residuals from prior
infectious/inflammatory process

What does this mean?

Thats the result of my apicolordotic view

ms, just look for a credible lab that does chest xray, such as a tertiary hospital known in your place or a well equiped lab and have a chest xray, i dont know what, probably an PA xray, and wait for the result. after it, whatever the result, you can still confirm it by other tests, its better to be diagnosed early, the earlier, the less chance of having bad xray result. Im no doctor, but a nurse as well... don't be afraid... remember, the earlier you know your condition, of whether you really have one or not, the better...

Dear Doctor,
13 years I am in abroad, Recently I have changed my job.  For free employment medical I went to clinic and done the test ( blood and Chest X ray). and they have given Fitness certificate. I was offered employment  and after two months I went to the same clinic to take the medical certificate for Visa. They gave a negative report stating that there is ill defined opacity in the left lobe of the lungs.  I have given sputum sample for contineously for 3 days ( morning ) and the AFB test is negative. Depite that they have referred me the Ministry of Health hospital for PTB. They have taken a  chest x ray and blood and sputum and asked me to come after a week. When I went they told me to take a CT sacan. The Scan report says. partly defined opacity in the left lobe of the lung measuring 2 x 1.6 cm.  I am hesitate to go the Hospital and taken a TB Gold test. Awaiting result. I have no symptoms of TB such as fever, caugh and weight loss. In fact i am struggling to control my weight.  Please advice about  my medical condition How I will prove that I dont have PTB.
