Collapsed Lung Symptoms
1. Sudden Chest Pain
Sudden, acute chest pain is one of the most serious symptoms of ill health, and is usually associated with cardiac problems, heartburn, angina, and other chest problems.
However, sudden chest pain is also the main symptom of collapsed lungs. Patients describe it as squeezing or crushing pain. When the pain is a result of pneumothorax, it is usually accompanied by other symptoms, in addition to an apparent cause of the collapse.
