Recurring and Reappearing Pneumothorax Symptoms

Good Evening Everyone,

Dropping a quick post here to see if people experienced similar experiences.

I have been diagnosed with a 3,5 cm spontaneous pneumothorax a month ago. Initially, my lung doctor told me it was too small to perform the chest tube and recommended natural healing.

While two weeks later it decreased to 1,8cm, a couple of days later I had a sharp pain in my shoulder blade and all symptoms (slight pain and chest compression + coughing reappeared) and the pneumo went back to 3,0cm.

Two weeks later , same experience, everything was back to normal with no symptoms and this morning, sharp pain behind my shoulder blade and back to coughing and slight difficulty to breath.

I am currently waiting for a CT scan and my appointment with a thoracic surgeon, but anyone had those similar relapses ?

Thanks a lot
