A member asked:
Is there a definite cure for restrictive lung disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: Too many types of restrictive lung disease to answer in this short space. I assume because you are asking the question that you have been told that you do not have a "cure". Many restrictive diseases are not curable, but there are good treatments. On the other hand morbid obesity may cause restriction and may be cured.
