Interpretation Help Please

Make a long story short.

Started smoking weed and cigarettes at 16, at around 19 or 20 began to have chest pains upon inhalation. Doctor treated as chest infection with Zpak, symptoms which are severe chest pain in left bottom of lung went away until about a year later, this re-occurred same symptoms for approx. 10 years. See primary doctor given Zpak and albuterol inhaler, sent to pulmonologist mid 20s, given x ray of chest, told must stop smoking he sees nothing wrong beside a bad habit.

At 28 29 years old I quit smoking, I am now 32, following quitting smoking I did not have any chest pain until a couple of months ago.

I began my own research and got a Ct scan done. I have been told by 3 health professionals following the ct scan, nothing remarkable was found. At times I was extremely dizzy and fatigued went to the hospital emergency room where I was sent home with no diagnostics run to identify the problems I found. I went and got my images put on disc, here is some of what I found. Other photos showing what I believe to be signet rings, I have not posted.

    Pain in the chest is usually not associated with lung problems , more applies to heart problems

    I would have , an echocardiogram to scan the heart valves and a CT angiogram with contrast dye to scan blockages etc in the coronary arteries.

    However, you are very young to have heart problems so is unlikely but not impossible.

    good luck.

    if they have said there is nothing wrong and sent you home then there is nothing wrong the scan images are looked at by the the perosn doing them and then they are double checked by a doctor/consultant so nothing is missed
