Can you breathe with one lung?

Yes, it is possible to breathe with one lung. However, it may be more difficult to perform certain physical activities and the remaining lung may have to work harder to compensate for the loss of the other lung. In some cases, medical treatment or surgery may be required to help improve breathing function. Additionally, people with one lung may be at higher risk for respiratory infections and other lung-related health issues. It’s important for individuals with one lung to work closely with their healthcare providers to monitor their lung function and take steps to maintain their overall health.
