Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Dr. called last night around 5 and said my bottom right lobe looked like a crinkled paper bag. He thinks it is possibly collapsed. I guess that's why I have had so many sharp pains on my right side. Any advice, help or questions to ask would be great!!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Jeanie, a collapsed lung can be terribly painful, and heat applied will help. It will cause you breathless ness too, didn,t your doctor give you any advice. Sometimes you need an Ab, but as far as i know usually it goes away by itself in time, heals itself. I have had collapsed lungs twice, and they repaired themselves , took a very long time though, I was in pain and breathless all the time. However the doctor should check to see why the lung collapsed. Has it been punctured, injured by constant coughing etc. You must find out why this has happened , maybe its worn out too, but only the doctors should make a call and tell you all. You must ask. But heat will help, as will some pain relief, and puffers etc, maybe ventolin, thats what I had to use for the breathlessness. But may not be same for you. Hope you demand answers. Good luck and please lets know what the outcome is. Try and keep extra warm, out of draughts and wind etc, oh and smoke, smog etc. All will hamper the problem. Good luck and hope to see your replies as they come. Bye for now, Sandy ( from Australia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
