Patient's question:
My lungs aren't doing well. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed that I have a tendency to develop bullae in both lungs. Now, I feel chest pain and shortness of breath every day. Originally, I could only work, but now I can't even do that. What should I do? How can I effectively treat the tendency to develop bullae in both lungs?Doctor's answer:
For your situation, if you have chest pain or shortness of breath, it's important to consider heart-related issues. If you're not at ease, it's recommended to check some heart-related indicators, such as the three markers for heart attack and brain natriuretic peptide to confirm. For the tendency of pulmonary bullae in both lungs, it's mainly treated through oxygen therapy and using some preventive medications against infection. Specific medication should be followed strictly according to medical advice. It's important to rest appropriately and avoid strenuous exercise in daily life to prevent the rupture of pulmonary bullae.
