Goldman l, et al., eds
Bronchiectasis, atelectasis, and cavitary or cystic lung diseases
A large amount of fluid in the pleural space can create pressure This can compress your lung to the point that it partially or completely collapses (atelectasis) This makes breathing difficult and might cause coughing The extra fluid in the pleural space can also become infected, resulting in a buildup of pus.
On the ct scan they found no pericardial effusion, but they did find bibasilar subsegmental atelectasis This apparently is partial collapse of lungs, which appears to match my symptoms exactly. Over time, the condition damages the thin walls of the air sacs in the lungs called alveoli In healthy lungs, these sacs stretch and fill with air when you breathe in
The elastic sacs help the air leave when you breathe out
But when the air sacs are damaged in emphysema, it's hard to move air out of your lungs Overview sarcoidosis is a condition that causes tiny collections of immune system cells in any part of the body These tiny collections form red, swollen lumps called granulomas Granulomas most commonly occur in the lungs and the lymph nodes of the chest
They also can occur in the eyes, skin, heart and other organs. A hiatal hernia happens when the upper part of the stomach bulges through the large muscle that separates the abdomen and the chest The muscle is called the diaphragm The diaphragm has a small opening called a hiatus
