10 Symptoms of Pneumothorax

Symptom #3: Steady Ache in Chest
Pain is never pleasant, but some types are less unpleasant than others. One such pain is an ache which, although still unpleasant, tends to be more tolerable than more intense types of pain. If you are experiencing a steady aching sensation in the chest, it could help to pinpoint to a specific type of problem.
If you do have a steady ache in the chest, it suggests you may be suffering from a pneumothorax. It is something that might be overlooked to begin with, not prompting the patient to see a doctor straightaway. It is usually accompanied by other symptoms, though, which should hopefully encourage you to get medical assistance.
