He went for a checkup recently (not his regular cardiologist) and had a chest x-ray done. Results showed some fluid. He was told to double up on his Lasix. What could be causing this fluid build up and is it safe to increase Lasix? My concern is that he saw his regular cardiologist approx 1 month ago. He told my Dad that he did hear a "girgle" when he listened with his stethascope, but never recommended that he increase his Lasix and didn't recommend a chest x-ray.
I have a dental appointment tomorrow and I know they may try to give me an x-ray. I'm 16 weeks now and this is my first pregnancy. I went to the dentist earlier this year and they didn't want to do an x-ray because I was in my 1st trimester. Is it really safe to have one done now?
I have a daughter who doesn't live with me and she has lice will it show up in an x-ray
My aunt received a pacemaker last week and was in terrible pain shortly after. She went to Urgent Care where they took an x-ray and said all looked fine. That night she had to call an ambulance and go to the ER because of the pain. They took another x-ray and said it looked good, but then they did a CAT scan and found that one of the leads had actually moved, and it went through her heart! Today they fixed it, replaced one of the leads and they think the pain will not come back.
I have several concerns about radiation. While there are a lot of sources that say dental X-rays have minimal radiation, etc. I am still a bit concerned, since I consistently get ill after getting dental x-rays.
I was wondering if there was any cap to radiation exposure built into the dental x-ray machines, or whether it was at the dentist's discretion how much radiation was used.
My little girls has scoliosis which is very mild, she had 3 or 4 X-rays at about 5-6 months and a chest X-ray at 4 years, they say the scoliosis isn't getting worse, better infact, but, I recently read a report saying there is a link with childhood cancer and x-ray and haven't been able to get my mind off it. I have also read reports saying there is no link with low dose X-ray but don't know what to believe now. Am I worrying irrationally.
My chest x-ray findings were as follows: Heart size is within normal limits. There is questionable vague increased opacity in the right suprahilar region. The left lung is clear. No pleural effusion is identified. No acute osseous abnormality is seen.
Impression: With the clinical history, the possiblility of early pneumonia is not excluded.
Can you tell me whether the fact that there are questionable vague increased opacity means that there is a mass in my lung?

Hello and hope you are doing well.
Apical scar tissue in the lungs is usually due to healed tuberculous pathology. Prominent bronchovascular markings are usually an incidental finding.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
