Hi, I decided to have a full medical at a private clinic just because I thought it might be a good idea at the age of 50, not because there is anything wrong. (Or so I thought). My chest x ray showed up as having coarse bilateral markings and prominent interstitial shadowing. I have been given antibiotics to rule out a lung infection but am worried sick. I still have a week to go before the next x ray. Is it really possible that I have a lung infection, even though I have no symptons? I gave up smoking in my twenties and didn't smoke for ten years but was an 'occasional social smoker' in my 30s and 40s. Maybe 3 a month. Worried sick. I've had no symptons of a lung infection or lung cancer but I have read that LC can be symptomless. Any reassurance would be gratefully received.
