Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
We should definitely rule out recurrence of pneumothorax in your case because all your symptoms are seen in pneumothorax.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x ray.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for pneumothorax.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
