I’ve had numerous pneumothorax’s, one tension pneumothorax and two spontaneous, I am currently in hospital with my 3rd in under 3 years, had chemical pleurodises done on my right lung after a lung collapse, and have had two left sided collapsed lungs, and had Vats surgery done on my left lung a few days ago, they reckon it’s due to being tall and thin and being a young male in my 20’s, it’s a pretty painful experience to go through multiple times but it’s made me a stronger person For it, god bless you all.
Since you've had it multiple times I would love to ask, were your symptoms the same each time? I had bilateral pneumothorax and have been out of hospital for a month now and worry I won't notice it come back before it gets too bad 😅 did you also have trouble sleeping on one side or is that just me and after surgery how long did it take you to stop feeling rib pains? (Assuming we had the same surgeries, I believe so anyway) hope you recover well man:) (also a tall slim guy in my 20's :c) any information would be very appreciated and very helpful, just want to hear what someone else going through it experiences😅
@@MrFlyingsquirrel19 Hey no problem I don’t mind explaining man. Well i had back pain all 3 times as the first symptom, but in general my first lung collapse was a tension pneumothorax (the most dangerous type) I was in a tremendous amount of pain, and my breathing was very very shallow like baby breaths cause everytime I tried breathing, it was like someone was crushing my chest and back at the same time. My two left pneumothorax where a lot different besides the back pain, it wasn’t as bad to breath so to speak, but the pain felt more central in my chest especially my most recent one I just had 2 weeks today, the ambulance had said for me to take 4 aspirin tablets and to be near a defibrillator. This made me think I was having a heart attack As the centre of my chest felt tremendously heavy. Yes the trouble sleeping man is 100% normal I can’t sleep on my left side due to all the cuts and holes from the tubes unfortunately. As regards to the rib pain etc that’ll most likely last a long time as nerve damage is caused by the surgery, something the can’t really afford your likely to get random pains from time to time ( nothing to serious) but will most likely last a good while.
@@MrFlyingsquirrel19 one piece of advice I would give you is if you notice the pain lasting any longer than an hour or two or it starts getting worst, get yourself into the hospital man, and trust your instincts to no if something is of, I do hope your feeling better I myself only came home 2 days ago and am still recovering I do hope I’ll never have to go through it again. Such a draining experience both mentally and physically
hi i have a couple of question. first of does pneumothorax comes back even after surgery ?
and is it a common disease?
@@sailoryul The chances of a repeat Pneumothorax after surgery is less than 5% I was told, but it would only be recommended to be done if you had multiple lung collapse’s. I was told the disease is on the rise in Ireland 🇮🇪 anyways that is, but in saying that it is still quite uncommon overall worldwide.
Great video. Clear, concise and explained in a manner easy to follow and digest. Thank you!
nursing student here - i've always had trouble understanding this and now it's crystal clear, especially paired with the notes on your website. thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
You're very welcome - thank you for leaving a comment 😊
I'm also a nursing student and this helped alotttt
Is placing a chest drain is the definitive treatment sir?after that what should we do sir?
Respiratory Therapy Student here, thank you so much for this explanation. I will be having my patient education regarding in this topic. It would help me a lot!!!
A tension pneumothorax can cause complete collapse of the nearby lung and can push the heart and major blood vessels to the other side of the chest. This is a life-threatening emergency. Tension pneumothorax most commonly occurs in people with penetrating chest injuries.👍
What we do in this situation
One way valve
I love these videos they are helping me get through the nurse practitioner program so thank you
Excellent visuals and clear explanations! Thanks 🙏
this is so helpful to me. thank you for your simple yet very clear illustration and explanation..
Great jus love your videos..simple easy to understand. God bless u- all the way from south africa
TYSM for this video! super helpful, clear and easy to understand...love it!
Thank you so much
What a great illustration
Igcse student here. This helped me alot. Thanks 😊
I was taught in class today. I came to UA-cam to add knowledge. Thank you for uploading 🇳🇬🤍
I really hate pneumothorax, I had that happened to me spontaneously which chances are like 1 out of 10,000 in men of happenings and I was so unlucky I had to go through surgery just a few days ago. The hole wasn't small either, they told me I would probably die or get the surgery done to survive ASAP. It shows how delicate we are and we need to take care of ourselves. The surgery was really painful and I suffer but at the end I survived and I am still recovering from it.
What was the cause? As far as how could you of prevented it
@@0104blackpearl Checks where fine and they say there was no cause and it couldn't be prevented, it could be hereditary but the funny thing is none of my family had that happen before either. That's why they called spontaneous, there is really no reason for that to happen.
@@reynoldcracker02 Yeah I figured because it was spontaneous but wanted to ask if they thought it could of been prevented. That’s scary. I’m currently in my last term for Respiratory Therapy. So naturally this is a common topic. Glad you are okay!! Wishing you a full recovery!❤️
@@0104blackpearl thanks! Same goes to you.
For me the surgery wasn't that bad
Clearly explained, Thank you so much!
I had a spontaneous pneumothorax when I was 17. I was eating dinner, coughed a little and didn't think much of my chest pain shortly afterward. Especially because I was used to having a little chest pain from when I was younger and had croup (a lot).
Long story short I went to bed and woke up early in the morning with strong pain and difficulty to breath. I told my mother. Luckily we were living 100 meters away from hospital (as I was already walking very slowly my mother drove me as far as possible and we went to the emergency room.) Thank god the doctor had a bad feeling and rushed me (already with an oxygen mask) to the x-ray Machine). At this point I had terrific pain and significant issues with breathing. I was crying non-stop but got treated with oxygen for around 6 days. Thankfully my pneumothorax was treatable with oxygen as I didn't have one before and I hope it stays like this!!
This was a great video showing the important facts and what to watch out for when dealing with chest pain and breathing issues especially when dealing with a young man.
I’m surprised you only got oxygen therapy. My second pneumothorax in 3 years just got aspirated the other day. But hopefully you don’t get another one
@@obamawastaken9069 hello, didn’t you have a surgery after your second collapse? I also had my second collapse 3 years after the first one, and the doctor recommended surgery since the known data shows a jump in the probability of a 3rd collapse. If you did get a surgery do you know what they did exactly? Thanks!
@@idriscolpan2223 Hey, I was just rereading my comment and I meant to say 2 years but mistyped.
But to answer your actual question I haven’t had any surgery yet but I am on route to having one this year.
I am aware of the surgeries they do to stop reoccurring pneumothoraces but I think it would be better for you to ask your doctor or surgeon as they can explain it much better.
I had also suffered by neumotherox brother.
Thanks. Getting my chest tube taken out today. Wish me luck.
I just had the same I’m a 40 year old male are you doing alright now
What age were you when you had it? Thanks
Very clear and helpfull video ..thank you
great understanding video. thank you.
This video is awesome! THANKS!
Great explanation!!👏👍🙏🙏
i like your explanation, thank you
Very Helpful.. Thank You so much
1st one who view. Thank you, its very informative. 👍
(for anyone with concerns) Had bilateral pneumothorax 2 months ago , was in for 3 weeks with drains either side (nurses called them handbags since they were connected to 2 small hand carry pumps 🤣) I smoked wayyy too much weed before hand (bonging 😩) noticed pain on 3rd of November and went in some time around January, I'm tall and slim and I used to sit down all day (for anyone wanting data lol) and since quitting smoking I've felt so much better, spirometer/airlife thing is up to 4000ml per breath 😄 can definitely heal from collapsed lungs or a collapsed lung. Eat loads of protein to aid in healing if you have wounds still and don't smoke! (Granted Ive had one or two which is significantly less than I would have had and notice pain starting again, if you're reading this trying to find an excuse to smoke again, just don't, it's not worth it😄 your life is worth more) oh and the pain was very much located right under my collar bones but I assume it would be different for everyone, furthermore rib pain persists for a while and it can be hard to distinguish sharp stabbing pain associated with recurrence and rib pain, if anyone reading this is going through It rn I could use a buddy to chat it all out with too lol
Its been two days for me I feel air stuck in my left side of the back can it heal itself
I smoke cigarette alot used to smoke weed
This video is great. Thanks.
thank you so much was very helpful ✅
educating myself on pneumothorax because sunoo has it and his recent hiatus is apparently related to his condition. i love sunoo so much i hope he'll be doing alright.
Simple and yet perfect thank you
Thanks!
Great job! Thanks
Unluckly. Right now writing down this comment I am in hospital with Pneumothorax. So I can tell it's really painful chest pain and hard to breath.. Right now it's 11th day while i'm here.. Hopefully everything will be okay.
Get well soon..❤
Thank you very much...really helpful...❤️❤️❤️💜️💜️💜️

Brilliant 🤩
My chest filling up like a balloon. Felt my ear drums tightening. Upper arms neck and chest expanding till couldn't anyone. I knew one more breath 🫁 and Im dead. My heart started beating faster and faster. I was about to pop. This happened at 11:09 this morning. I cried for Jesus Christ. It slowly went back to normal. I almost died today.
on the page of university of Connecticut they say a tension pneumothorax causes high blood pressure
bestttt explanation
super helpful
thanks a lot
How long is the chest drain left in place to remove air? Hours? Days?
I’m just getting over my spontaneous pneumothorax but the pain has gone from the right lung and the pain has stated drifting to the left side now👀, the pneumothorax size for me was “about 2.5cm” and never had any surgeries for it
My left side was all the way collapsed so they did the chest tube was in the hospital for about 2 weeks went home for about a week maybe a little more and went back for X-rays and it did it again so they went in to my back and did the surgery
@@badboyhall2007able I had tension pneumothorax and my right lung literally wouldn't inflate. It was my second pneumothorax as my first one resolved itself. I was aspirated and given a chest drain for 10 days, where I was back up to full size, but I had a "bulla" (2cm blister-type thing) on the top of my right lung. Considering both pneumothoraces were on the same side and the time-span between them was less than a month, I was transferred to a specialist hospital, where they focused on respiratory stuff. Had my surgery and came out of hospital 4 days later. Having my X-ray to make sure everything's fine soon
@@RSw_Why what were the symptoms? Anything different from the usual pain and shortness of breath?
@@ylfaer for me, I didn't specifically feel pain, but more aching than anything else. On my right side, (the side of the lung that collapsed) I would feel a serious discomfort in my back, and around the shoulder.
Idk if that was just me. Sometimes, I would have an "asthmatic grunt" is what my mum called it.
Basically sometimes I would grunt when exhaling for whatever reason, probably because I had less air in my lungs that usual.
Personally I felt fine breathing when not moving, for example laying down or sitting down or standing still (though, sitting down and laying down was the time where I would feel the aching I described earlier the most). I'd have no shortness of breath there but after a short distance walk it kicks in.
Hope this answers your question.
@@RSw_Why Are you okay brother now I'm very worried I made a 6 days I have two days to remove it and I am afraid of recurrence
Thank you.
thanks bigman
Thanks
I was wondering why chest pain and a bit of dificulties breathing.
Turns out it was spontaneuos lung colapse
I studied engineering in Uni but found your videos very interesting. Where can I get the book u mentioned?
I just git diagnosed with a minor version of it today. With a handful of hospital opointments
Thank you
I had 2 lung surgeries 20 years ago now when I was 18 for spontaneous pneumothorax. My left lung went twice, then right lung. First time it happened felt like I had been stabbed, worst pain ever. Anyway after the 2 surgeries I haven’t had one since. Was never given a reason other than I was a really athletic young lad, not tall though, only 5’8.
You gave me some hope, my son at the Hospital now for right lung pneumothorax I am really worry for him. Thanks for your comment.
@@sarahaiden5107 honestly not a big deal long term. Tell him to enjoy the extra attention 🙏😃
Yo this happened to me it was spontaneous and was just told cuz I was athletic but only 5’9
Just got out of the ER for spontaneous minor pnuemothorax, absolutely terrifying experience
@@johnreinhardt9349 don’t worry too much mate, easily fixed and it’s not life threatening. And you have a cool story. I am 39 now, happened at 18, zero effects to my life.
Can we do running excercise 1year after pneumothorax treatment?
I have a question After a drainage i Can back to training ?
I had a spontaneous pneumothorax when I was 26. Scary day.
I was 19 🤕🙏🏼🙏🏼 dec 27 2019 . Is when it happened. Spent 5 days in the hospital w the suction machine in me 😓 i waited hrs before i went to the hospital . Dr said if i waited 10 more minutes my heart could of stopped
OMG, I had a spontaneous pneumothorax two months ago, was a very painful day for me
Well i had it 4 days until i got to XRay.. just askin.. are guys tall and thin? Do you smok/e-cig? Do you sit a alot (maybe computer) ?
@@Tempo_est i was skinny af 116pounds & smoked too many blunts. Smoked atleast 10 blunts daily. Smoked from 11 till i was 19.. been sober ever since🙏🏼. 1 year 1 month 5 days later im healthy weigh 180 pounds
I’m 19 5’9 skinny about 150 pounds, I had one too probably because I smoke weed and vapes everyday 🤦🏻♂️ just got out the hospital yesterday had the chest tube in for 24 hours it was the worst experience of my life 😂 never had no surgeries never even had to go to the doctor really now I’m just hoping my lungs healed up and it won’t happen again
Thankyouuu so muchhh
damn mccollum of CJ
I had the mantle pneumothorax 22 days ago and was in the hospital for 8 days with drainage, I have to go back to work now and my job is a warehouse worker. I have to lift boxes and things up to 30 kg. My question: When can I practice my work? . I heard it can come back?
My advise is you need to frequently consult to your doctor, to check your lungs regularly
thank you !!
Pneumothorax are the best death metal band I've ever heard.
Can we exercise during the course of medication for pneumothorax?
It's recommended that you don't
thnks
This is exactly what happened to me..this year may and june twice...the first one is not totally drained the fluid my doctor already removed the tube..and the second is totally expanded and the fluid and air is totally drained i hope it will be okay now..
I am so glad you recovered. My son is at the hospital for his right lung pneumothorax I am very worry for him.
@@sarahaiden5107 he will be fine 🙏🏼
What are the chances of pneumothorax reoccurring in the future if surgery has been performed to resolve it?
The recurrence rate was estimated to be approximately 10 to 20%

Thank you so much! 23/12/2021
Glad to help 😊
This just happened to me I’m a 40 year old male, what are the chances of it happening again
Please include Arabic in the subtitle settings for the video
Happen to me 22 spontaneous left lung scared it'll happen again I'm healthy but smoked weed before almost went into shock scary should I be scared will it happen again and how long after never had sergury I'm terrified just to be alive cuzz I have many many questions and I don't like it never had problems now this and now high risk y wtf I do I didn't do shit
Does vaping cause this ?
I had a pneumothorax abt a month ago and the collapse itself didn’t hurt at all, I just felt weird and scared I couldn’t breathe well. The real pain was from the chest tube that got coiled along my ribs (Bc I have a small chest) and was rubbing against nerves. My nurses thought I was being dramatic and ignored me. Incredible pain for a week, where the coil was still hurts to even touch the skin above it.
Was it a spontaneous one? Or was there another reason for it?
Hope you're doing well at the 2 month point now:)
Yikes, that's awful :(

William B Ortiz jr did you need to perform a drain? Hope all went well
@@bobbylow175 no I got a chest tube to suck air out but that didn’t work so I got transferred to another hospital and I got one more surgery that change my life, everything went well.
@@willy.2002_ thanks for sharing your experience. That is scary. Glad you're much better now. I read somewhere that the doctor can remove the pleura membrane so that the lungs would stick directly to the chest cavity to prevent future lung collapse from re-occurring. Not sure how that works as I'm not a doctor. I had a scare two nights ago and my doctor suspected pneumothorax but thank God my x-rays and blood tests show everything to be normal, doctor now suspects it might just be a pulled muscle instead. But I do share the fear of actual pneumothorax sufferers now that I've researched it a bit more! Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! Stay safe.
@@bobbylow175 I’m glad you didn’t have that, take care man , and god bless you.
