A member asked:
My lungs were hyperinflated on an x-ray but my ct scan was normal. can my asthma cause hyperinflation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
yes. the air trapping triggered by airway constriction is a more common cause of hyperinflation on x=ray. It is seldom seen when asthma is under good control.
