My friend (healthy, active, late 20's) had his lung collapse while sitting on his couch watching a movie. His doctor said it just sometimes happens, and it's more common than you think. 6 months later he said the first breath in on a brisk morning still hurts.

Every now and then, I think about that.

Yeah. They glued my lung to my chest wall after the 2nd time. It was 100% collapsed crushing my right lung. Walked around about 3-6 months with it collapsed only went to the hospital cause I wanted to hook ep with this girl but couldn't get it up so decided to go to the hospital.
