what is pulmonary hyperaeration?

Question

what are do's and dont's?

Answer 1

When you break it down to its Latin meanings, it means getting too much air in the lungs---breathing too deeply? Hyperventilation?

Answer 2

I HAVE pulmonary hypertension---diagnosed in December---along with conjestive heart failure---in my case, the left side of my heart became enlarged which reduced the amount of good oxygen that was going into my other organs.... fluid built up in my body and backed up into my lungs.. the small amount of oxygen and the fluid in my lungs is what is known as pulmonary hypertension.... My doctor tells me that when I was first admitted to the hospital, the blood pressure in my lungs was at 95 points (which is WAY WAY too high)---it is now down to 65 points and although he does not think it will EVER get lower ----it IS better then it was---the normal however is only 30 points.....it doesn't usually get too much better and with time it gradually worsens---ESPECIALLY when you have conjestive heart failure as well. Medications and breathing aparatus (a c-pap machine and oxygen AND a nebulizer in my case) has helped keep things at bay and with any luck will continue to keep things at bay for years to come...but, one never knows when the medicine will no longer work...and at some point, it won't.

Answer 3

this means you have trapped more air in your lungs then would be normally expected. in persons say older then forty, and certainly 50 and over then this could mean early onset of COPD. in a young person this could mean nothing more then anxiety or panic attack where they have hyperventilated and trapped air. also asthma is associated with hyperaeration. the real determining factor here is if the hyperaeration is chronic rather then acute, plus are there other supporting symptoms or signs for any of those mentioned diagnosis.
