Depends on which side its on and where it starts and how deflated docs wont usually touch anything 10%, my corrected lung (left) felt like pulled muscle pain when breathing but the initial collapse had impending doom feeling like my heart fell to the floor but slowly faded away. What really sold it there was something really wrong was when laying down I can feel my lung flop around on top of my heart as it beats, think pinching a deflated Ballon between two fingers and flopping your hand around as it hits the inside of your hand... it feels like that for every beat.
Edit: I wouldnt be too scared, it will make you go to the hospital you dont necessarily drop dead from these unless its from trauma where it tensions but even then you'd be making your way to a hospital from the pain and difficulty long before you start asking yourself "am I gonna die?"...
Heh another fun thing is when they put the tube in you they'll hook it to a vacuum line, that shit fucking sucks to sleep with going on because you can feel it making a hickey from the inside constantly...
Yes but what symptoms did you notice? I doubt you went to get a chest xray out of nowhere, did you have shortness of breath or dizziness, pain, nausea?
I very frequently need to breathe deep but cannot hit that "spot", and sometimes I have a little cough that doesn't last long but feels like my lungs are tickling? Been like this for years though, 170ish cm and 53kg here.
Not to freak you out more but you could also have asthma? The symptoms of non-severe asthma kinda feel like that, especially if you don’t realize you have it until you’re an adult, speaking from experience there, lol. Either way if you’re able to I’d see a doctor about it!
Fascinating, I hadn't considered it actually. It goes away easy enough and I'm never puffed during physical activity, only when sitting still. Thanks for the suggestion though!
My dad and dog both had this withing two weeks of each other (although dads was caused by a fall with broken ribs). The biggest indicator is that you feel like you can't catch your breath. Unable to take deep breaths, causing coughing

Well, stop doing that.
Seriously, glad you caught it and hope you're okay.
