[|Human|] I have been told that my CT Scan shows lung scars or nodules that they believe is just scarring, I am very fatigued, light headed and have alot of chest discomfort. What questions or tests should I be asking my physcian? I have had a stress test and PFT awaiting the results would like to make sure I am covering all the possibilities. I am 52 yr old female that was previously diagnosed with COPD.  I am at a loss to know what to do next.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should wait for PFT report. You are mostly having worsening of underlying COPD. Chest discomfort in COPD patient is mostly due to worsening of COPD. And PFT is must for the diagnosis of this. So wait till PFT report. You might need newer long acting inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
