X-ray area of opacity

Hello I had an X-ray last month after going to hospital with heart racing due to hyper thyroid and the X-ray they said was fine (they were looking for a blood clot) 3 weeks later I get told at my endocrinology appointment that they saw an area of hazy opacity in my upper lung and I’ve to get a ct this week. I’m a non smoker for 20 years otherwise healthy,, I’m quite worried x 

  • Hello Khudbrook

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health problems that have needed further investigation. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned. 

    Hopefully the CT scan this week will give the doctors the information they need to make a clear diagnosis about your symptoms and the best way forwards to treat things. 

    If you'd like to talk through your concerns with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
