Do you have any feeling like you can't take a deep breath in? Or any shortness of breath? Chest pain?

I have never had chest pain. I am early stage 4 emphysema so yes I feel short of breath but that is the emphysema. I was having problems breathing long before the atelectasis appeared in the scan. Don’t panic, if you had emphysema it would of shown up in your ct scan.
The pulmonologist should be able to figure out why you are having pain and difficulties breathing. I know waiting is hard.
