Hello again,
I asked about a history of smoking because a history of smoking can results in synergistic negative health effects in combination with some occupational/environmental exposures (for example, silica and asbestos).
If you have on-going rigth upper quadrant discomfort, you should continue to investigate the potential cause with your health care provider.

No I never smoked nor any kind of drugs
Hello,
It would be very unlikely for you to have silicosis without having any findings on x-ray or CT.
Are you a current or past smoker?
