Gurgling Feeling In Lung When Taking Deep Breath. Clear X-ray. Reason?
I have somesort of lung infection. Every time I take a deep breath in, I have a gurgling feeling in my left lung. Doctors say its audible and I can definitely feel it through myback with my hand . I went for an xray and it came back clear. Any possible reasons for the gurgling. It also feels like it is deep in my lung like near the bottom Thanks

Thanks for your query,
Gurgling sound in left chest can be due to lung infection, herniation of abdominal content into chest, sometimes if stomach is full etc.
If you are not having fever, cough,c hest pain...infection is less likely.
Hernia may be problematic...
Better go for a CT scan thorax with screening of upper abdomen to get a definive diagnosis....
Best wishes
