A member asked:
I want to know how serious a chest xray result of mild hyperinflation is of the lungs is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is a: fairly nonspecific finding. It could indicate COPD, but could also potentially be normal if you took a particularly deep breath in. Tough to say without seeing the xray. Best course is to talk to your doctor about it...if there is concern for COPD, pulmonary function tests might be in order.
