I got this crap for a couple of years now coming and going. Before yesterday I woke up with chest pain again, being able to breath in very small amounts of air, otherwise it hurts as fock.
`A pneumothorax is a collapsed lung. It occurs when air leaks into the space between your lung and chest wall. This air pushes on the outside of the lung and makes it collapse. Pneumothorax can be a complete lung collapse or a collapse of only a portion of the lung.
A pneumothorax can be caused by a blunt or penetrating chest injury, certain medical procedures, or damage from underlying lung disease. Or it may occur for no obvious reason. Symptoms usually include sudden chest pain and shortness of breath. On some occasions, a collapsed lung can be a life-threatening event.
Treatment for a pneumothorax usually involves inserting a needle or chest tube between the ribs to remove the excess air. However, a small pneumothorax may heal on its own.`
Collapsed and normal lung:


This is the 3rd day, and its definitely getting better, though I was only able to sleep like 30 minutes at a time and feeling pretty knackered.
Send some healing energy to me bros,
Peace
