Hello doctor! The day before yesterday, I went for a digital chest X-ray and it turned out that the aortic arch was distended. So what's wrong with me? Hope the doctor can help, thank you!

Dear Uncle! Aortic arch on X-ray” is a non-medical term, so the doctor cannot answer your question. However, chest x-ray is a basic subclinical, so you can bring that film to the nearest medical facility to be reviewed by a doctor, or to hospitals under Vinmec Health System nationwide to have it checked. Doctor advise.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Best regards!
