A member asked:
How can i get the doctors to do something about my collapsed lung.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consultation: A collapsed lung may relate to mucous blocking off the airway or a tumor vs a pneumothorax. A ct of the chest will help decide the cause. You may need to see a pulmonologist and thoracic surgeon for definitive therapy.
