Symptom #10: “Clicking” Sound
The stethoscope is a very useful tool that is used by countless medical professionals all over the planet. It allows them to hear what is going on inside the body better and this can be extremely useful in coming to a diagnosis. It can also be very useful in helping them to diagnose a pneumothorax problem.
Patients with a pneumothorax will often experience a “clicking” sound when they are breathing. This can often be heard quite clearly with a stethoscope, and can often even be heard without one. The sound is also often very noticeable to the patient as they are breathing.
