barrel shaped chest
Is it ending stage?
I have recently undergone chest CS, all things are OK except barrel shaped chest,,
My main syndrome in autumn is dyspnea,,,
Is there hope for better treatment?
Hi
. Barrel chest can happen in the later stages of COPD, but that doesn't mean you are in end-stage. Here is an article that explains it better than I can: https://copd.net/clinical/barrel-chest. While you can't treat barrel chest, you can treat some of the symptoms that cause it, which might help. Researchers are always working on new treatments for COPD, so there is always hope for better treatment. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)
