Hi shubham, your chest x ray shows a large thick walled cavity. It is important to know your old chest x rays and TB history to understand if it is a previous cavity or new finding ( in which case a further evaluation is mandated) Also for palpitations a ECG and Echo must be performed along with a CBC to see your haemoglobin levels
Next Steps
