What Causes Shortness Of Breath?
Hello, I have been short of breath. In April, my doctor told me I had pleural thickening. Thelastest xray, stated that I had a vague opacity in the lower thorax laterally. Should I be concerned? The doctor stated he would like to do a ct scan, however, because of breast cancer almost five years ago, they cannot access a vien for the contrast.
