Beware that even a spontaneous primary pneumothrax can turn into a tension pneumothrax, a condition when a natural one-way valve forms and continuously increases pressure inside the chest eventually compressing heart and arteries.
Even a spontaneous primary pneumothrax must be handled seriously. It can become life threatening.
Thanks for the heads up. It's been a while since the last episode, so I kind of doubt this is a thing for me at the moment. But I will keep that in mind the next time I have un-ending pinching and cramping pains on the left side of my chest. Don't worry, far left side. Not near the heart.
