A member asked:
What is the average lung size for a person with a barreled chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Larger than normal: Some people with severe COPD have destruction of their lungs resulting in an increase in the total volume the lung takes up in the chest. Unfortunately the lungs don't work any better.
