Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your X-ray report and I can understand your concerns.
As per your report,you have fiborosing (scaring) lesions over the apex of both your lungs. These X-ray feature generally indicates old and healed infections like tuberculosis. They are not active disease process and treatment is not necessary in most of the cases.
All other features are perfectly normal and no lung diseases are detected in the given film.
As of now,you don't require any treatment and it will take time to clear the fibrosed opacities. If you have any symptoms like breathlessness and cough, kindly consult a pulmonologist for detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.

Regards.
