Pneumothorax (Collapsed lung)
Hi guys, my brother recently had a collapsed lung - he went through a small operation a week ago to pump it up. Since then he's complained incessantly about constant pain, he has trouble sleeping and is generally feeling very depressed and frightened about the whole affair. My bro is a bit of a drama queen, he totally panics about the smallest of things, so it's difficult to judge just how bad the situation is and he's got himself into a bit of a state. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a collapsed lung before - are there high chances of a relapse? And most importantly, how long did it take to feel 'normal' again? It's been a week and he doesn't seem to be feeling any better. Cheers.
