Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Emphysema with Old TB Right apex.
Both lungs hyper-aerated with fibrolinear opacities, indicate generalised extensive Old TB bronchitis with hyperinflation from the old choked bronchial passages,causing hyperinflation of the lungs on both sides.
Hemidiahphragms are low set from the hyperinflated lungs above.
Right apical damage is more due to its hypo-circulation, in the background of generalised TB of the both lungs.
This is what your Chest X-ray suggests.
Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
