several regions of the body, including the lungs.
In most cases, lung nodules are asymptomatic and do not put a person at increased risk for developing lung cancer. On the other hand, a nodule may burst under certain circumstances, leading to a collapsed lung.
Pleural Disease
Inflammation may occur in the pleura, which is the tissue that surrounds the lungs and has the pronunciation “PLOOR-uh.”
Inflammation of the pleura is often accompanied by fluid accumulation in the space between the two layers of the pleura (pleural effusion). There are occasions when the fluid will resolve itself on its own.
Having a big pleural effusion, on the other hand, might make it difficult to breathe. In addition, fever and discomfort with breathing might be symptoms of pleural illness.

Small Airway Obstruction
Bronchiectasis is a condition in which the walls of the tiny airways of the lungs become thicker as a result of persistent inflammation and infection.
Inflammation or injury may also cause this condition (bronchiolitis). This may result in a buildup of mucus in the lungs, as well as symptoms such as shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, exhaustion, and a general feeling of weakness.
