Does anyone know if one lung is usually larger then the other one? My one lung is larger and I don't know if this is a concern or not. I have heard that kidneys aren't the same size, but was wondering about the lungs? It's my left one that is larger and since I have pain on that side, I am concerned since I saw the chest X-ray report about it being larger then the right one.

back to square #1- off meds for now-Not been diagnosed as of yet. Have a positive ANA. . Pain reliever. sublingual B-12 , Chronic sinus infections. Asthma.

I don't believe any of our organ pairs are 100% identical. How much larger are you talking about?
