There are two known types of atelectasis. The first type is called acute atelectasis which usually results from surgery involving the opening of the chest cavity or the abdominal area. This type of atelectasis may also result from physical trauma to the lungs like during car accidents or stabbing incidents.

It takes 6 weeks to have its full effect. You're doctor should have instructed you to come back for blood work at 6 weeks, then your dose can be adjusted if need be.Be patient, adjusting thyroid meds is a delicate process-and it can take 6 months to a year to get it right.I started on Armour about year ago-I felt better after a couple months-but it did nothing for my weight. 09-22-2013, 01:28 PM #3.t takes 6 weeks to have its full effect.
