Q: Fluid On Lung
asked by: ascholbe on May 19th, 2005

For almost two years I havw had to have fluid drained from my right lung. In the last month it was a total of 3 liters. The amount and frequency is increasing. Although they have tested the fluid several times, and did an explooratory once, the best they can tell me is that there is a suspicion that
that I have mesothelioma (i am not sure of the spelling). I do not believe that is what I have. I suspect that it might have to do with my alergies, but I do not know who I can ask about this. Can anyome here help me. === I live in the state of missouri.

Fluid On Lungs
I can identify with your problem. I have been having fluid around my lungs for a number of years, it usually affect my heart. I asked for a second opinion, and after an ultra sound and some research by my doctor found out my lungs are not the normal size and seems to be getting smaller. This is a result of lupus.

Fluid In Lung
i also have fluid in (not around) lung and have for over a year. Xrays were neg and my gp says it is caused by reflux. However I never regurgitate so it seems highly unlikely. Being an ex smoker I fear the worst. It is also reducing my capacity for air and is slowing my running. Is there any test (other than xray) such as scope to check out lung from inside? If so I would like to insist on it but have no idea if there is such a test. Thanks in advance.
