pulmonary complications

Pulmonary complications are problems that affect the lungs and breathing. They can occur due to infections, injuries, or other health conditions, making it hard to breathe or get enough oxygen. Common issues include pneumonia (lung infection), atelectasis (lung collapse), fluid buildup, or blood clots in the lungs. These complications may cause symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, or fatigue. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent worsening health and ensure the lungs function properly.
