Atelectasis


Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

Symptoms depend on how much of the lung is involved. A person may not even be aware of atelectasis if only a small part of the lung is affected. But, if a large part of the lung is involved, a person may have these symptoms:

  • shortness of breath
  • fatigue with minimal exertion
  • fever
  • chest pain on the affected side
  • cyanosis, which is a blue color in the skin
