What Is The Treatment For Swallowing Issues?

I had a Barium swallow done to see if the goiter I have is causing my swallowing issues. My ENT told me today during our follow up visit that the Dr. who did the xray noted that I have "linear opacity of the right mid thorax and he suggested a get a chest PA and lateral xray. My ENT then sent me to get a xray. I will not know the results until Thursday of this week. What does this all mean. I have had a cough for 3 1/2 weeks, random sharp chest pain on the right side and wheezing when I lay down only. I have my lungs listened to 2 times and I hear "your lungs sound good"...
