A member asked:
Can congested heart failure & a fib cause my hyperaerated lung problem?

More fluid filled.: Congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation, if anything, cause your lungs to be more fluid filled, not hyperaerated. Hyperaeration of the lungs goes along with emphysema, which is related to smoking of course.

"Hyperaerated": lungs may be a sign of COPD. This would not be caused by congestive heart failure or a fib.
