I started having a cough a couple of weeks ago. The doctor said I have decreased AE in my lower right lung and recommended x-rays. I'm not sure what decreased AE means and I'm worried it could be lung cancer. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

I had an echocardiogram done and the technician seemed pleased with the results, stating everything looked normal and there was no heart stiffness. However, my doctor mentioned heart stiffness after checking with the technician. I'm confused about the discrepancy and want to understand if this is a subjective issue or if there might be a mistake. Additionally, I have hypertension and shortness of breath, and I'm currently on anxiety medication and have switched from metoprolol to propranolol. How should I interpret these results and manage my symptoms?
