Send me your number too bud. I had to reset my phone last weekend and lost a lot of numbers.

Were you in pain or dizzy or something or is it just a routine examination that took you to the hospital?

I went to my gp originally with chest pain and then the gp sent me to the hospital to the emergency room to be admitted to hospital bc my gp suspected something more sinister at play. After an X-ray at the hospital they found one of my lungs has a hole in it and is leaking air into my chest cavity

That's no joke, 'cos usually that expands your chest cavity to the point you can't breathe anymore.

I'm bit puzzled, 'cos lungs developing a hole on it's own is a troubling condition.

Either way, I would take it seriously and investigate it all the way.
I hope you get better in no time.

Hi @dom14
I too thought a pneumothorax was something requiring critical care (it's presented as one of those 1st Aid "nightmare-ish" situations), but it appears they can develop and resolve themselves, as per the following:

But it looks like SCUBA is off the cards permanently tho' Jack, which is a bit shite if that's your thing...
