Morning that post was 4 years ago and since then I have seen a specialist 2 years ago and the system in place is should I have a collapsed lung again no question I'm in for a an op. However my GP and specialist insist on occasions like this when air gets in to chest cavity I go to a& e despite the fact that anything less than15% cant be seen on x-ray ,the a&e staff think i am over reacting and tell me its muscle strain or viral and to go home. I then go to my gp who gives me decent pain killers to get me by until the air naturally dissipates over 3 or 4 days(fingers crossed ). Again cheers for the well wishes.
Tommy , Understand completely I smoked and enjoyed it even after my first collapse I continued after second the taste changed and reality could not be ignored after giving up my sleep pattern changed I found myself awake at 3 or 4 in the morning hence got the idea to go out get fit by running and here I am. I know my way might not help but I got a book on card tricks and brought bags of cheep lollipops and penny chews . Motivation well Tommy 1 your times are always good think how much better they could be, although it can't be done as a request when I saw specialist I had an mri done he pointed out areas where there wasthe early signs smoke damage (not that smoking is responsible for condition)and told me I packed up at a good time
Kate, Hope tests go well.
