What does these chest x-ray after an injury indicate?
Patient: Bilateral apical pleural thickening seen.This is what comes in my xray report . 2 week ago I got hit by rickshaw right side of my chest.  I hav started facing breathing problem. Can't take complete breathe feel pain right side of my chest. How to cure this problem.? How long this Will take.? Can I continue my gym activity? Doctor: bilateral apical thickening in xray is not to be worried. before 2 weeks injury can lead to some lung contusion or collection in lungs, you need to get xray chest done again and if required go for CT scan of chest. if all normal, then do deep breathing exercise, spirometry and you breathing will improve and pain will subside gradually.
