Interesting. I had an X-ray two years ago after which the report mentioned things as 'some signs of' or 'could be' or 'start of'. Eventually I saw a private consultant whose first reaction was 'That's a step too far and I'll prove it" so he did a scan and showed me the pictures. Sometimes I wonder if the radiographers cover themselves by mentioning things they're not sure about. X-rays are not a reliable diagnostic tool for lungs I think. Good luck with the exercise - you will soon know if it's not working. They all need to listen to the patient!

Welcome to the site and yes exercise is the best pill I can't do anything on land due to a back injury but go swimming as often as I can.

Don't forget the flu jab and keep away from people with colds
