Hey guys..reading Lisa's story about her scare, I was wondering how many of you all have had a lung collapse? Also can you do anything to prevent it or does it just happen? What causes it? If your PFT's are in top shape and if you do plenty of cardio to build up your lungs, it can still happen..right?? I'm just being curious. I hate how sometimes no matter how hard you fight to train your body to be the best it can be, CF can take control! Ugh! Hugs to all!

I had a partial lung collapse in 2005 that was caused by a blockage - like a mucus plug I guess. I was NOT in the best shape at the time anyway - My PFTS were in about the 45% range soo I can't say whether or not higher PFTs would make a difference as I do not know.
Just wanted to throw that out there for ya.

I *think* that those of us with bronchiectasis are at higher risk for collapse because of the thinned out areas that we have. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have no experience with this, very interesting question, my docs have me scared it will happen when I bleed because of the bronciectasis and bleeding issue.
