Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mom was seen in the ER last night for what was thought to be a heart attack. It turns out, the hospital doc did not feel it was related to cardiac issue at all and requested a chest x ray. The xray showed a spot on her lung but they couldn't tell if it was a mass or pneumonia/infection. She refused a CT scan. She has been experiencing pain in her upper back where the spot was detected and she also has elevated D Dimer as well as high blood pressure. Is this likely to be lung cancer or infection?
