Doc looked at my chest x-ray and put down "mild aortic elongation" and "biapical pleural thickening". Never been exposed to asbestos far as i know. 58, male, get winded easily. The aortic elongation is what worries me. Is it dangerous; does the aorta thin as it stretches; does it just happen naturally with aging?
