My doctor reviewed my recent chest X-ray and noted a 'pocket' or 'growth' on the lower left lobe of my left lung, which is the same area where I had a spontaneous pneumothorax 25 years ago. I was a smoker for 30 years but quit 10 years ago. I am experiencing minor pain in that area and some shortness of breath, which my doctor is concerned about. What is my doctor looking for with the CT scan, and what are the possible conditions that could be causing this issue?

I went to an ENT for hoarseness and was diagnosed with tremor of the vocal cords, possibly due to Parkinson's Disease (PD) or the medication Klonopin. I have had hoarseness for nearly four months, which occurs when I raise my voice, but I have no other symptoms of PD. Could Klonopin cause hoarseness, and is it possible to have PD with no other signs?
