CXR: If you have otherwise been healthy, it is difficult to have hyperinflation (increase lung volume) and atelectasis (loss of lung volume) together. in the presence of chest pain (particularly when you take a deep breath), pneumonia is more likely than atelectasis. You need to be evaluated if you continues to have symptoms

Any wheezing?: Hyperaerated lungs and atelectasis can be signs of asthma and COPD. Bibasilar disease can sometimes represent superimposed community acquired pneumonia or mycoplasma infection.
