Suggest Treatment For Frequent Spontaneous Pneumothorax Attacks
Hi my 18 yr old daughter had her first spontaneous pneumothorax last November 2014 and had to have 100 percent oxygen for a day. She then had a very tiny one 4 weeks ago on 12th July 15 with no treatment. We then ended up in hospital last weekend with the same pain but they couldn t see anything on the x ray but they said to treat it as she has one, so no flying for 6 weeks etc and to come back for an X-ray in 6 weeks time. Anyway today she decided to go to a theme park and there was no way I could talk her out of it, she s very stubborn and the doctors told her to just get on with her life. I am a very concerned mother could this be really dangerous for her?.
