Feeling Of Wiggling And Shaking In Lungs On Deep Breathing. History Of Pneumo And COPD. Suggestions?
Lately when I take a deep breath inhale, it feels like the bottom of my lungs are wiggling or shaking. Does not hurt, but does feel weird. I told my doctor and his reply was he has heard about this feeling from women who have recently given birth . I gave birth to my son 24 years ago so why am I having this now? I had a spontaneous pneumo about 20 years ago and also COPD (moderate emphasema).

thanks for the question.
As you write about emphysema, CoPd, these are to be re-assessed by chest physician with radiographs (x ray,ct-scan).It has not to do with 24 year pregnancy.Besides pain there can be breathlessness as other symptom with or without exertion. PFT (lung function tests are other way to find out)
