Answers:
They are listening to the sound the tapping makes inside your body!. A dull sound may mean fluid in the lungs or a consolidation of lung tissue, for example!. The differences in the way the sound resonates can help tell the doctor if you have something going on that needs further examination (collapsed lung, pneumonia, a mass of some sort, etc!.)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Any type of blockage in the lung or plural cavity!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They are listening for your lung function and your heart beat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

they listen to your heartbeat to see if they can hear any type of clotting!.!.!. : )Www@Answer-Health@Com
