Pulmonologist Questions

Trapped Air - lots of pain

I’ve got some trapped air in my lungs, limited airways and a flattened diaphragm (per X-rays) I’m in a lot of pain for two weeks now. I can’t see a pulmonologist for two more weeks.

Can I wait that long?
What is the procedure for relief? (A needle?)

bronchodilators can often open the airways to help the air escape. Breathing out slowly also can also help air trapped in the lungs to exhale
