I have a previous history of TB, and my X-ray shows bulky, dense hila. Should I be worried?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. It needs evaluation. Can you please send your X-ray and blood test reports? So that I can guide you accordingly.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. I have seen your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). There seems nothing to worry about in the report. There is hilar prominence, but it seems to be probably an old-healed lesion. You are asymptomatic as well. (Fever, weight loss, loss of appetite, cough, etc., are the symptoms). Hence, you can repeat your X-ray after three months and see. If you have any of the above symptoms persisting for more than two weeks or you are much worried about it, you may do a CECT (contrast-enhanced computed tomography) chest and rule out active disease. I hope this was helpful.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Weight training is not related to hilar prominence, so that you can continue it. Furthermore, hilar prominence has nothing to do with Rosuvastatin. You had a history of TB (tuberculosis). Most likely, the prominence appeared at that time and never have realized it. Most commonly, it can be a fibrosed lymph node (just like a scar of a wound). It is harmless and has nothing to do with your health now. You can keep yourself under follow-up. If the repeat X-ray after three months is identical, then there is no need for further check-ups. Meanwhile, we will investigate further if you develop any unusual symptoms that we can relate to hilar prominence. If you have any old X-rays, we can compare this one with that one and make sure of the diagnosis now itself. I hope this was helpful.
