There's honestly no real clinical significance to just noting large lung volumes.
Undiagnosed respiratory illness.32M177cm77kgEuropean whiteI've had an ongoing illness with no diagnosis for 2 years. Main symptoms are respiratory; sore chest, flu-like symptoms, no energy, coughing up blood and mucous, shortness of breath, exhaustion at the slightest of exertion. Numb nose, inflammation all in nose.I've had a CT scan abdominal and there was nothing too abnormal. One thing stated was large lung volume, but no signs of COPD, fibrosis. I also did genetic test with Ancestry which stated I have a significantly increased risk (although stated it could be a mistake) for lung diseases. I would like to know is there any clinical significance to increased lung volumes with no other symptoms? It's just something I am curious of but can't find answers online, like is it a precursor to getting COPD or something. Can someone explain if it means anything?At this stage due to the CT abdo scan coming back mostly normal, I am beginning to suspect some sort of nasal infection, but I would like someone explain to me what increased lung volume could mean, so I can move forward and narrow down my illness and eliminate all other possibilities whilst also understanding what it means.
