I ve had increased weakness over the past year. For the last 10 weeks I ve had SOB. Am better after 6 doses of Azithromycin 250 mg. I still have a wet cough. Hav had exposure to asbestos in 2003. Should I get a chest xray or blood work for CA diagnosis?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.You are having chronic cough and shortness of breath which is not fully improved with azithromycin. So we should definitely rule out lung infection, bronchitis and lung cancer (exposure with asbestos). So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
