Question : Hi Doctor,

As you have suggested I am taking Ibuprufen and Pantoprazol with Levosulpride. Getting some relief and also improving. But still not get rid of the symptoms.

I forgot to tell you one thing before and thought to connect again. I was admitted to Hospital this year in March as Having some lower right abdomen pain and they have done a CAT scan to me. I was discharged as they have found nothing and also didnot detect anything. It was some muscle strain as they said.

In report , It was mentioned that Lung Bases are clear and Heart is normal. Nothing they have found. I have attached the report as well. Will it rule out the lung disease I was fearing of. Please suggest.

Brief Answer:
This CT scan suggesting only lung base.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Thanks for your direct question again.
I have gone through the report you have attached.
This report suggests only lung bases.
But I don't think you are having lung disease.
So no need to worry for lung diseases.
For 100% surity about lung disease, you should get done fresh chest x ray. But I don't think it is needed in your case.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
