Question:
What should I do about bilateral apical pleural thickening?
My lung x-ray reveals a minimal, bilateral apical pleural thickening and atheromatous aorta, however, my ECG is normal. Should I be alarmed and seek medical help from a cardiologist?
Thank you and more power!

Answer:
by Denton A. Cooley, MD Thickening of the apical pleura may be a result of several conditions, mostly benign. Without further information about your age and medical history, I am unable to be more specific. I suggest that you see a qualified physician for an opinion.
