A member asked:
Would i be misdiagnosed with copd if i have a chest cold at the time of the xray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COPD: It is easy to misdiagnosed with copd. Some patient diagnosed with COPD may have other causes of shortness of breath. X ray findings of COPD are rather non-specific.
