Confused

[aeparcs]

I had 3 xrays lately

The 3 xrays have the same result., remarks was lungs are clear and no cardio pulmonary findings

But my pulmonologist said there's a possibility i still have tuberculosis

Morning aeparcs, x-rays don’t show up everything so a ct scan would be better. Why do they think tb?

Hope you get answers soon. Mention testing for sarcoidosis..........just a thought. Xxx

Hello. Getting a ct scan in my country is really expensive.. Oh how i Wish i live in uk.the health system in my country sucks

Get a second opinion. Tb is very rare in developed countries and clear x-rays... Why does he/she think this?

[aeparcs in reply to vdub]

The doctor that i have right now is my second opinion. The first pulmonologist that i had told me i had pneumonitis and asthma and he said everything is fine and with the new one he told me that hes suspecting the tb is in my right lungs month later he told me its in my left thats why im so confused :/

If you're x-rays are clear I'd say your first Dr sounded more accurate. Not sure why 2nd would jump to a Tb diagnosis?? Very unusual.

Do you have unexplained bruising on your legs or other tb signs?
