Hi there,
I am a qualified nurse.
Symptoms of a pnemothorax or more commonly known as a 'collapsed lung' include chest pain that might have a sudden onset. This pain is sharp like a dagger and may lead to feelings of tightness in the chest. Increased shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, a cough and fatigue are other common symptoms.
If you experience these symptoms and are ongoing i would advise you to go to hospital or call 999.
