A member asked:
Is it possible for you to reverse hyperinflated lungs caused by asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: By definition, asthma is a reversible airway disease (or at least partially reversible). When properly treated, the lung function should return to normal and with relief of bronchospasm and airway inflammation, the hyperinflation should resolve. If hyperinflation does not resolve, other lung problems need to be investigated.
