There are two known types of atelectasis. The first type is called acute atelectasis which usually results from surgery involving the opening of the chest cavity or the abdominal area. This type of atelectasis may also result from physical trauma to the lungs like during car accidents or stabbing incidents.

FROM OUR EXPERTS. Pam, Thanks for the question. High blood pressure medications works in different ways and can have an effect in different time periods. In general you should allow about 2 - 3 weeks to see a full effect from a medication. This full effect is not only what the medication does, but how your system reacts to the drug and adjusts to the changes.
