Wings?

Who treated your collapsed lung?

flying?

Call the doctor's office on the phone that diagnosed your collapsed lung.

When my lung collapsed and I had a chest tube, there were no restrictions when I went home. Your doctor should of discussed any concerns you have.

Hello Friends,

I am sure you have heard this from everyone and don't want to hear it again but you should try and quit or at least cut down as much as possible. My Dad was a smoker and had the same thing happen. The doctors said if he insisted on smoking that he should try and wait at least 1 1/2 - 2 months if he could. I think you should just never pick them up again and especially since you have already had a collapsed lung. You will breathe better, smell better and won't smell like an ash tray to people that don't smoke plus, you will save a ton of money. I wish you the best of luck quitting.

Best Regards

Where Lady Spambot in the OP's post does/did it suggest smoking was the cause of the OP's collapsed lung?

So only smokers get collapsed lungs? I didn't smoke when mine collapsed.

Actually, the correlation between smoking and a collapsed lung may be less than 50% of the time.

Often times, a pneumo-thorax can be caused by a puncture due to an accident. Sometimes people who are tall and thin are more prone to it than others in the population.
