Barrel chest

Have you ever heard of barrel chest? It is a physical condition that describes the swelling of the chest. It was named “barrel chest” because when swollen, the torso looks similar to a barrel. In general, people who have barrel chests are in a late stage of the disease.

Having a barrel chest is basically the result of the lungs that are filled up with air you can’t exhale. Barrel chest can also be caused by emphysema (a condition caused by smoking), brittle bone disease, and acute bronchitis. If you feel like you can’t get the air out of your lungs, head to the hospital immediately.
