I would recommend that you go see a pulmonologist the soonest possible time. He will order other tests (sputum test/culture/PPD) to confirm if it's TB or not. X ray results in itself is inconclusive as it might be affected by human factors (rad tech fault, etc.)
SO again, go see your pulmonologist to know what to do next.
