A member asked:
Chest tightness and some shortness of breath, no heart problems found, doc said slightly hyperinflated lungs with 100% o2 sat is this bad?

Good: That just means your lungs are holding plenty of air and your body is getting the oxygen that it needs. Follow your doctor's recommendations. If your symptoms persist, other causes may be investigated.
