What causes scar tissue on your lungs?!


Question:

What causes scar tissue on your lungs?

My father has been having chest pain, so they did an xray and he has scar tissue on his lungs. They believe this is causing his pain, and have scheduled him for a stress test.


Answers:

Chronic or reoccurring lung disease with airway/lung inflammation, such as pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis and emphysema can cause scaring in the lungs.
