Partial collapsed lung

[Amanda3011]

I have been told that my left lung is collapsed in middle , they can’t do any further investigation as it’s too dangerous so I’m being sent for physio therapy in the hope that it’s a mucus blockage .. if this doesn’t get better will I still be able to fly? My fev 1 is 22% no oxygen needed

Oh wow. I'm sorry to hear this Amanda. To be honest I think this is a question for your doctor. If your lung is partially collapsed I'd imagine it is in a delicate and extremely fragile condition. I would definitely get confirmation for the doctor treating you. I don't think any of us here can tell you for certain that you are fit to fly. Take good care. xx 🌼🌱

Thank you for your reply will definitely seek advice x

I agree with Caspiana. You really need to seek medical opinion about being able to fly. I hope that the physio helps you.

Thank you for the information link, looks like my holidays abroad are over but we have some beautiful places in uk I’m yet to see 😍x

Amanda,never say never,i have only 22% lung function but have a fit to fly certificate,your consultant will just wan't to check out your lung has re-inflated which could happen within a week or two of it's own accord.

Aww hope so fingers crossed was told no meds to try release the phlegm but I thought there was meds to help loosen this xx

[skischool in reply to Amanda3011]

Unfortunately i can't advise on that issue as with my 'dry' emphysema i am lucky not to produce much mucus but the lungs by nature will want to reoccupy their original space. x

[Amanda3011 in reply to skischool]

Hopefully so 😂

This is the reason I can't Fly, I have FEV1 26% or less, On Oxygen. My Consultant wasn't Happy she mentioned a possible pneumothorax happening if I fly. She said the Insurance Company may not insure me for the Flight, She wouldn't give me a "Fit to Fly" certificate. Best to make sure. xx

Thank you will definitely check out first xx

what's happening with your valves ? Sorry you can't fly, know you were looking forward to your trip.

[Hacienda in reply to maggiewhiteley]

Hi Hun, Just got home, been a Busy Day, Also received a Phone Call from The Hospital for me to Go in next Thursday for a Bronchoscopy , I hope they can Do do the Procedure there & Then to change my Valves so as To Breath as good as last June for my First Valve Procedure, If all good then I will be able to Fly, Love n Hugs XXXX

Sorry to interrupt your conversation with Amanda Carino,but if you are having the bling jiggled with you will have to do the 3 day stint again regardless if it's only a reinsert so you better warn hubby to get in the ready meals lol. do hope they can do it on the day.no reason why not as it would be pointless just having the broncho.

Love nosey Ski's and the smelly one. xx

[Hacienda in reply to skischool]

Lo Siento Carino, I should have messaged you, I have been out all day and got a call while on my Way Home, So I now await the Letter, I have to be ready for whatever, So Fingers Crossed they can renew me. Love n Hugs my Friend & Scruffita XXXXX

There are still trains, and boats, even if you can't fly any more. All the best.
