Ankylosing spondylitis can cause inflammation and scarring of the lungs, causing coughing and shortness of breath, especially with exercise and infections. ...

I’ve had one for the past 2 years, mostly in the mornings after I get up and have my coffee.
Once the the phlegms up the cough is done.
Saw the Dr.’s several times, they always said I sounded clear!
Had an ex ray, clear!
I am an ex smoker,
Quit 13 years ago.
End of last year I requested to have one of the new CT Scans done to ck ex/current smokers for lung cancer, very thankfully no cancer 🙏🏻!
But it did show slight emphizema.
Said Nothing needed to be done immediately, but to follow up yearly with CT scan to monitor it. Don’t know if that’s the cause, allergies ???
It seems they can’t give a direct answer🤔

Thank you RosannaEsparza,
Those are great articles!
I know what tube your talking about, I think.

They give them to you after surgeries, to help clear and strengthen your lungs, from the ananesthia.
