Panic Attacks and Lung Hyperinflation?

[kxnnie]

Hi everyone!

I’m a female, 21. Over the past year I have been living with PMBCL (non-hodgkins lymphoma), for which I am now in remission. This, of course, has caused a lot of anxiety and occasional panic attacks! I went to the ER last week during a panic attack, and they performed a chest XRay in which my lungs appeared hyperinflated, but otherwise clear. I have undergone multiple XRs, CTs, and PETs the past year and I have never had any mention of this prior! Reading that radiology report is (naturally) causing me even more anxiety! I have no other underlying conditions and my lung function/O2 levels/breathing is fine. All I find online when I google is COPD, but I am sure I dont have this. Can hyperventilation contribute to acute lung hyperinflation? TIA everyone
