Let me paste report points here. 1. B/l ling fields shows normal air attenuation with few bronchovascular markings. 2. Bilateral bronchovasculature is otherwise normal. 3. Tracheobronchial tree is normal. Trachea slightly on right side. 4. Mediastinal shadows are within normal limits. Great vessels are normally opacified. 5. Oesophagus is collapsed and normal. 6. Cardiac silhouette is normal. 7. Bilateral pleural cavities are clear and chest wall is within normal limits. 8. No evidence of any lytic lesion seen in the vertebrae. Please can you explain these.

Hello lybrate-user, the x ray report you have mentioned is grossly withen nomral limits and just based on the report attached, I don't forsee anything serious. Now the two most common cause of breathlessness at night is lung related, particularly asthama like or copd if he was a smoker, another is heart related, which should be ruled out if he has similar breathlessness when he is exerting like climbing stairs, lastly get his blood pressure checked ad it might be on the higher side. Do send me more details so I can help narrow down the diagnosis for you. Hoping I could help. Regards
