A member asked:

Minimal rt lung base collapse shown on chest xray cause? shortness of breath when running no angina hbp tachycardia

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk to your doctor: Unless the collapse has been known to be present for a long time and stable, may represent infection, blocked airway (?Aspiration), congenital malformation, or even tumor (not likely in 17 yo). Can't give more detail without exam. See your doctor.
