Now she has Pneumonia, her Right Inferior Lung is collapsed, and she has a paralyzed diaphragm. What could have caused this? The doctor's say it is not from the surgery, but maybe from an underlying condition she already had. She's been 6 weeks and has not received an answer from the doctors as to specific treatment, or what may have caused it. Any suggestions?
I had an ablation last week for Afib and tachy and I have had non of those side effects. I was out shopping and active within 48 hours, I would get it checked out or at the very least call your doctor for their opinion. Good Luck!
Next day I went to my primary doc and they did cat scan.. And they come back and say that my right lung had collapsed. I felt completely scared but so relived that they see what I have been complaining about for 2 years but they say it can't go on for 2 years.. So what is this pain I have been feeling 2 years then? They say it's spontaneous. Any ideas why I wo have this pain? It comes every month like clockwork. Sometimes a day sometimes a few weeks. I'm non smoker 5'3 and 115.
Later that morning, my breathing never let up and finally I just collapsed. I was taken to another ER, where they discovered that my lung had collapsed for an unknown reason. A few weeks after I got out of the hospital, my symptoms persisted. I made an appointment with a pulminologist, and he came to the conclusion that it must be my esaphogus spasming. He gave me a prescription for Prevacid, and sent me on my way. Here we are a month later, and today my symptoms returned.
However, I do have asthma. In the past I did have a lot of asthma attacks. Once I had a collapsed lung and on another occasion have had pneumonia when I was a kid.

Fine subplueral left lower lobe recticulonodular opacities with superimposed groundglass attentuation is probably post inflammatory?
On May-14-2011 I had a car accident, the steering wheel hit my chest. IMy dr said my lung collapsed and is bruised and that I have toen cartilage in my upper ribs. My question is should I be having cramps? I spent 7 days in hospital because I also had phnewmonia real bad in the same lung. I am starting to cough real bad again but I cant cough because it hurts really bad what should I do? Even my back is starting to hurt really bad.
she listened from the middle of my back then listened to my left lung and said I had very minimal wheezing and that the pneumonia was gone and that I was in the recovery stage that involves coughing up the mucus and my body absorbing the mucus in my lungs. I never had a chest X-ray so I can't say for sure that the pneumonia was in my right lung BUT the painful spot that the previous doc identified that made him concerned was on the right and this doctor only listened to my left lung.
These include pneumothorax (collapsed lung), hemothorax ( a collection of blood in the space between the chest wall and the lung , perforation of any of several viscous organs, bile peritonitis, infection (bacteremia, abscess, sepsis), hemobilia, neuralgia, and rare complications such as ventricular arrhythmia with transvenous biopsy.
5lt of fluid over 24 hours. I had a partially collapsed lung afterwards due to the fluid damage, but have recovered fairly well since. I've been back for a few chest xrays since which show improvement, but my doctor says I have permanent scar tissue and may only get back to 90-95%.
Its now almost 10 months later, and I've been training for my first marathon.
I'm just recovering from walking pneumonia with partial lung collapse and pleural effusion, it's been three weeks now but even simple things such as talking for long periods and picking up after my kids leaves me breathless and tired. it's so frustrating especially since my pulmonologist hasn't responded to my ph. call regarding these questions. Thanks!!
Thanks so much for your response, if the lung is collapsed will it recover if the Phrenic nerve recovers by it's self?
It sounds like a possible panic attack and not a collapsed lung. I've heard of this happening many times in other people that smoke marijuana, anxiety or panic attacks.
It sounds like you're fine. If you keep having problems contact your Dr.
Took Buddy to a different vet. Turns out it's not pneumonia. He has lung cancer.
Went to my regular doctor the following afternoon and had some type of xray/mri with dye and it showed pneumonia in my right lung, right long 20% collapsed and evidence of COPD (which is why I immediately quit smoking)
My primary had me admitted to the hospital immediately, was there for 7 or 8 days, received breathing treatments, more leviquin and some steroids.
At the end of 10 days, on December 15, I made another appointment with my primary doctor because, although I was feeling a slightly better, I still felt that I had severely diminished lung capacity in my left lung (i.e., I would feel my right lung fill up but my left lung was not completely full) and still was extremely fatigued.
