A member asked:
Cardiology tests seem in clear but pulm ct scan of chest showed hyperinflated lungs and breathing function test was poor. what is next step?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obstructive lungs: Hyperinflation with lungs that have imparted ventilatory capacity imply obstructive airway disease. Bronchodilators, coupled with assessment of bronchospasm causes by a pulmonologist should help.
