My ct scan of the lungs showed I have compressive atelectasis. Can you explain this to me and is this something I should be concerned about. All my Dr said was every so often take a deep breath. Should this be rechecked. Also I have had a cough for the last 3 months, and I am having pain in my upper back, some shortness of breath with activity. Could this be related or the cause of Compressive Atelectasis.
