Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain After Surgery For Lung Collapse
Hi, my boyfriend had a surgery years ago due to his lung collapsing...yesterday he was complaining about the side where he had the surgery was in pain when he woke up...then when he got in from work he said he could still feel pressure on that left side..he tried lying on his back to see if it would make a difference but he said it was still the same..I guess he was making sure he wasn't feeling the same symptoms he felt when his lung collapsed..what could it be??

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
I reviewed facts of your query in context to your health issues.
My Opinion-
In My opinion, in the given situation you seem to suffer from-Reactivation of Infection on side of past of surgery for collapsed lung.
In absence of further information, general comments could be given.
As in most of cases, collapse of lung(Atelectasis) is due to infection in the lung, many a times this infection, after many yrs could get reactivated.
CT Chest after X-ray chest could fix the cause of it.
Other cause of such complaints- needs to be ruled out by consults with attending Chest Surgeon, who would plan further treatment after physical and radiological/blood tests.
Next appointment-
