Medical Mystery...

[Kay_T]

Hi everyone!

Was wondering if anyone has any experience with an abnormal sound coming from there lung(s)?

I had a nasty virus over New Years which has left me with what I can only describe as like a grating noise coming from my lower left lung. My doctor thought it might be asthma, so they gave me an inhaler and steroid tablets. Neither helped. Then got sent up to the hospital for a chest x-ray and ultrasound all came back fine. I’ve seen about 10 different medical professionals, each and everyone has said that they’ve never heard this noise before...

Cause I’m not in any pain or discomfort and with Covid 19 on the go, there’s pretty much nothing they can do for me right now, which I understand. So thought would do some digging of my own...

Hi Kay_T

I experienced a strange sound Last summer for a couple of weeks - how do I describe it-combination of a creaky door opening and a rasping sound (not my usual wheeze). This was post bronchoscopy. Not had it since. No one was able to tell me answer to why or what questions. Stay safe

Could it be due to mucus moving and interfering with an airtube in your lung? You could try an old fashioned steam inhalation using a bowl of hot water and a towel over your head.
