hello,doctor i went to my doctor today and he said my lungs sound real clear i quit smoking 2 yrs. ago and gained 27 ponds since then and i have borderline blood pressure but i had asthma as a child and it feels like its back but the doc said my lungs sound clear what does he mean help me please thanks sabrais...
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Lung sounds clear means, there are no abnormal sounds like crepitation, rhonchi or wheezing. Crepitation heard in pneumonia. Rhonchi and wheezing heard in asthma and COPD. Since these sounds are not heard, it is unlikely to have these diseases. This is the reason why your doctor told that lung sounds clear. But in my opinion, you should get done PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will pick up early asthma and COPD as you were smoker. If PFT is also normal then no need to worry. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
