After Undergoing Pneumothorax, Is It Normal To Feel Slight Occasional Discomfort?
I had a pnuemothorax almost two weeks ago. I have days since where I feel amazing and others where I feel stiff. My breath feels pretty normal but I do have heaviness occassionally. sometimes when i drink too much I have small burps but then feel good after. should i be concerned?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Pneumothorax takes time to heal. Did you have chest tube inserted at that time? Did you have any injury? Or was it because of some disease?
Please send the details regarding this for further suggestions. But I think your heaviness and feeling relieved by burps is due to gaseous distension which gets relieved after burp.
All the best.
