Pleural thickening

2023-08-07 07:53:35
I recently underwent a chest xray and this is what it came out. "Blunting of the bilateral costophrenic angles, more on the left with calcification along the diaphragmatic aspect of left pleura- most likely to represent pleural thickening." Can someone please suggest as I am getting worried. I've had covid history with pneumonia two years ago.
