Pleural thickening
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.
