Hi everyone I wanted to know if anyone has been in the same situation . I have asthma and have been very short of breath (different to my usual asthma) for about a year or so. No other symptoms . I am 42 and smoked for twenty years gave up about 5 years ago . I had an X-ray about a year ago which was normal . Since then I have been fighting for help with what I thought what my asthma put if control . I was finally referred to respiratory who repeated the X-ray . They then called me this week to say there is an abnormality on it which wasn't there on previous X-ray . Apparently it is an area of haziness . They are booking a ct chest quickly . I now am starting to panic as to what this abnormality is . I am a nurse and so I probably know too much .. has anyone had this same situation?
