ULOG 08: The Pulmonologist Shocked Me

in #ulog6 years ago (edited)

It's just 2 hours ago when we arrived at home coming from the Doctor. Last Wednesday when I went to the Doctor I didn't get any answer what was wrong with my health. Because it's just a simple cough that can't be cured by cough medicines. I was so glad about the x-ray result because I was negative on TB or Pneumonia. But the MD who made the checkup last Wednesday referred me to a Pulmonologist which I visited earlier. I was shocked on what the Pulmonologist told me. She saw something on my xray that the Radiologist haven't noticed. She said that the lower part of my left lung has been collapsed already that made it to be smaller compared to my right lung. She requested some lab tests but no results yet. She also made a request for me to undergo CT Scan. So we are going back to the Doctor again tomorrow for CT Scan and to get the results of some lab tests. I hope I have nothing serious illness.

By the way here's the pictures we have earlier with my wife @savel.

If you click on "Click to Keep Reading" it will tell you more.

  • Scuba divers and smokers are at risk for a collapsed lung and sometimes physical injuries can cause a collapsed lung too. It also mentions something about people who travel at high altitudes and people who have asthma.

Reading about your condition might help you prepare for your next appointment.

All the best to you and your family.
