It went away and they did a chest cat scan - and told me to follow up in a year as there was a small (Natual?). But, everything else looked good. I still had a appointment with Pulmonologist at the VA and they ask me the standard questions then I heard something to the effect that you have Emphysema - She wanted me to do some bloodwork which I have to go back and do.
