Spontaneous Pneumothorax
A spontaneous pneumothorax is the entry of air into the space surrounding the lung without any prior blow or injury, causing the lung to collapse fully or partially.
Common symptoms: It usually appears suddenly with chest pain on one side and difficulty breathing, which can vary in intensity.
When should you see a doctor? Because this is a condition that can compromise breathing, sudden chest pain with shortness of breath warrants seeking care without delay.
Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation falls to the pulmonologist and, in situations that call for it, the thoracic surgeon; emergency services also take part in the initial care.
