A member asked:
Is copd severe when lungs are hyper inflated and diaphram is flattened? can this be reversed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The severity: of COPD is a clinical assessment and can be quantified with Pulmonary Function Studies, but if those findings are present on a chest xray, it is likely that the COPD is significant. In general, the lung damage cannot be reversed.
