Merry - thanks for writing this. I just looked at the radiology reports on my chest x-rays, and the radiologist mentions atelectasis in the bottom part of both lungs. I didn't know enough to pick this up when I first read the reports. I'll follow up on it but wonder if there is anything can be done about it. Thanks again. Nancy

Atelectasis the air sacs of the lungs—do not expand properly. As a result, the blood may not receive adequate oxygen—a situation that can lead to various health issues. See your attending physician
