Suggest treatment for left-sided mid zone calcified opacity on a chest X-ray
Patient: Hi doctor, this is Anfar i am from kerala. I got a job in gulf country and for that I went throurgh a medical test in they found me unfit just because of calcific opacity at left mid zone but rest all test was normal.Sir what is the remedy for this issue Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. Calcified opacity on chest x ray is suggestive of old healed Scar lesion.Any lung infection heal by fibrosis or calcification. No treatment is required for these as they are inactive fibrotic scars. These scars are remain throughout the life. First fitness purpose, you should consult pulmonologist and get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy. If both these are negative for active infections then you can argue with Visa authority for fitness. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
