@sueinmn hi sue, so I had some chest discomfort for about 5 days before I went to the ER room and they found it by accident. Well okay so about a year ago i kinda had the same problem and the nodes were only 3mm in size. So they doubled in a year

@surgin1991 Have you followed up with a pulmonologist? Do you have any lung conditions such as asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia?
Small nodules usually don't cause symptoms unless they are caused by an infection, so it would be wise to follow up with a specialist to try to find the underlying problem. You don't want them to just throw antibiotics at the problem, because there are a number of bacteria and fungi that can invade our lungs, and each responds to different drugs. A doctor can get a sputum culture from you, which can be analyzed to see specifically what is going on.
