I got sick for 2 months at the end of January and I couldn't stop coughing at one point. The coughing caused my rib cages to get inflammed... it was so hard for me to breath properly at one stage so i went to see the GP. I was hoping that she was gonna prescribe me with antibodics but she didn't. She just told me to take Neurofen.
Additionally, she suggested that I should go for an X-Ray for my lungs and see if everything is alright. Just to be on the safe side. So i did and they did find something. When she called me about the results, i was on the streets and couldn't hear her clearly when she was describing what it is. She wanted me to go for another x-ray in 6 weeks time to make sure the "whatever" has gone.
So today, I went back to the GP to pickup my form to bring to the hospital. As I was on the bus, I read what she wrote on the comments section.
"Found area of increased opacity in right upper lobe of lung. Check if resolving"
Ohh... so now I finally know what the correct terminology is. My coughing had caused some lesion in my lungs so that's why they detected opacity in my x-ray.
Had to wait around for half an hour but my x-ray only took 5 mins... so quick but the wait... so ridiculous!!
But anyway, I'm hoping that this x-ray will show that the lesion has gone... fingers crossed. Can't wait for my results!!
