Question?

Hello everyone, Hope everyone is doing well. The reason I can over to this forum is that I had a chest Xray that showed mild hyperinflation of my lungs. I have seached online about it but am still unsure as to what it is? Calling my MD was almost useless. He wouldn't even come to the phone. He had his receptionist tell my it was mild asthma. I got to get a new PCP. Is it a sympton of asthma? If anyone can shed some light on it I would appreciate it. Thanks for any info. Pink Grandma

Thank you for responding Carla, I went to him because I was tired of living on Ibuprofen. I have been running low grade fevers for months. And was always tired and sleepy. ( I had told him about the fevers numerous of times.) I do have a cough but I smoke. ( Plan to quit soon.) My visit was suppose to be a physical. I got there at 9:55am for my 10am appointment. I was walking out to my car at 10:10am. Physical ...right!!!! He sent me for the chest xray I think just to shut me up. I called to find out the results twice or I am sure I would have never heard a thing back. I do plan to get another Primary Care Physician soon.
The xray did show that there was no pneumonia or any mass though. I just don't know if this is serious enough for me to be to be referred to a pulmonary doctor or not. I don't know hardly anything about lung diseases. But I guess it's about time I learned huh? Thanks again Carla............Pink Grandma
