When is a barrel chest a sign of a disease process? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common instance in which a barrel chest will occur. In these cases, itâs a sign of the lungs being over-expanded. This is caused by the loss of elasticity and results in the person having hyper-inflated lungs.
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that contribute to COPD. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs. It's characterized by daily cough and mucus (sputum) production.
