Do you know why my doctor cant hear my left lung otherwise the right lung is clear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lung sounds : The left lung is smaller than the right so there is less air movement to hear. If this is a recent change then a chest X-ray could be done to look for other issues that could cause this
