Suggest treatment for hyperaeted lungs with low set diaphragm
Patient: Hi, muay I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here... both lungs are hyperaeted with low-set diaphragm, Hazed and fibrotic densities are seen in the right upper lobe with intervening lucencies. The right interlobar fissure is tickened.Heart is not enlarged. Costopheric sulci are normal. thank you Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern.I have gone through the x ray report you have mentioned.This report is suggestive of old healed fibrotic lesions with emphysematous changes (hyperaereted lung field with low set diaphragm).So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to identify the functional loss of lungs.If PFT is suggestive of obstructive Airway defect then patient will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Deep breathing exercises, incentive spirometer, yoga and pranayam are also good in restoring lung functions.Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your patient. Thanks.
