29/f bilateral anterior upper lobe groundglass opacities and small right pulmonary nodules up to 5mm. smoker and svt. seriousness? next steps? what is
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow with PCP: You need your doctor to guide you. Any opacities in lungs need to be further investigated as to the cause. Lung nodules may or may not be related. But they should be monitored for further growth or change using a repeat ct scan 4-6 weeks after the last one. If you have any fever then you need to be tested sooner than later.
