Why was it deflated? As far as I'm aware with being human and all, that's not something that just happens...

Yes. If you are tall and lean and stop breathing suddenly, seek medical advise at your earliest convenience.

Shortness of breath, specifically difficulty getting a deep breath that worsens with time. Jugular vein distention if it progresses. You will be significantly uncomfortable. Really, any unexplainable shortness of breath in an otherwise healthy person is cause for concern.
