Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been told my lungs are hyper inflated, does this cause chest and back pain ? as Ive had a lot of this lately and in fact still do, even though the chest infection Ive had has completely cleared up.
Hi well come to HCM.
hyper inflated lungs are seen obstruction of bronchi due to bronchial asthma.bronchiti,
emphysema etc. It suggests retension of air in lungs during normal breathing activit.
It can give you pain secondary to stain on respiratory muscles because of stranious
breathing. Thanks
chest pain may be due to many causes like Acid reflux disease,pericarditis,esophagitis,costochondritis or respiratory infection associated with bronchitis or emphysema. it may be due to repeated cough due to copd which causes the respiratory muscles to get fatigue
you have to consult a chest physician about it. it may be reinfection or simple acid reflux disease
take care
