Shortness Of Breath, Congestion. X Ray Shows Air Bubble In Lungs. Any Natural Way To Get Rid Of Air Bubble?
I had an xray done today of my chest and lungs. Dr. said everything looked good. Yet i have an air bubble under my right lung. Also some congestion in my upper tubes. She had no concern. Yet i have had symptoms of shortness of breath after doing just chores at home. Along with conjestion. But she said my lungs look fine. I don't like this air bubble beneath my lung. Epecially that i have had some probblems with this side of my body when it comes to breathing Is there a natural way to get that air bubble to pass out of the body?

Some times a small air bubble is a normal finding in x ray chest. It does not cause much harm. But multiple air bubbles(bullae) can be a sign of a condition called emphysema and shortness of breath is a symptom in this condition. Are you a smoker? You may consult a pulmonologist and get a CT Chest done which will give a clearer picture.
