Pet scan showed I have a collasped lung. Has anyone else had this

problem? If so what did you do about it. I have not trouble breathing

and my chest does not hurt.

    CAALL Is the entire lung collapsed? I have the lower part of my right lung that has collapsed and have no problems breathing. My oxygen levels are usually any where from 95%-97%. I know when it first showed up on a scan the emergency room doctor told me that I could get it back by taking deep breathes using their meter. I have been working on this and I think it is working but I don't have a peak flow meter to determine. What did your doctor say needs to be done?

    I had a complete pneumothorax and had no symptoms. Imagine how shocked I was when I was told to get to the ER immediately! Hoping yours is less serious.
