Exposure: Findings indicate some process causing changes to your lungs visible on x+ray. Make sure they looked at correctfilm for you but if they did, they see changes that could be due to exposure to other peoples smoke or other toxins or allergens that have affected your lungs. See a pulmonary doctor soon to get accurate diagnosis and treatment as lungs do have some healing ability.
