A member asked:
Is my chest xray emphysema or allergy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cannot tell on X-ray: The diagnosis of emphysema or allergies cannot be made with a chest x-ray alone. Please consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation. If there are concerns about your chest x-ray, you could seek the opinion of a lung specialist.
