Unknown: lung nodules are things which are found enough if you look for them. we classify lung nodules based on the size of the nodule and there are more specific concerns based on your smoking history etc. i know it must be anxiety provoking but wait until the ct scan results and review them with your doctor. based on the size, there are certain recommendations at what to do next.

Nodule: lung nodule could be due to previous infection or tumor. CT can help in characterizing the lesion.
