Hi,
You have a lung fibrosis which indicates there is reduction in lung space as normal lung parenchyma is replaced by fibrous tissue and your spine is deviated towards one side. If you smoke, you should leave it and discuss with your doctor regarding exercises for the spine.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita, Ophthalmologist
