Suggest Possible Treatment For Pulmonary Hyperaeration
I don't smoke, but my x-ray result says Pulmonary Hyperaeration. I have been diagnosed with bronchitis almost 20 years ago. I am now 34, a female. I recently had a feeling of shortness of breath and chest fullness (not chest pains) but can sometimes be relieved when I belch/burp. Sometimes I feel like I am not getting enough air when I inhale, and I feel like I'm tired all the time. 2 years ago I had a cough for almost two months, the longest I ever had, and that was the time I had pains in my chest and ribs and I was having a hard time catching my breath when I cough. I got terrified that time I was scared to cough or even sneeze cause it was an effort to breath, as if I was pulling my ribs so I could get enough air. Now, I am feeling like I am always tired with shortness of breath which caused me to see a doctor and have me undergo x-ray. Please, can you help me? I hope COPD will be ruled out. Thanks!
