You should get a chest xray done to look for the problem as you have had a left sided pneumothorax earlier without any trauma. Such kind of a pneumothorax which is spontaneous can be bilateral as well as known to occur on the other side 50% of the times later in life.
Further things can be taken up from there whtehr there is a pneumo or not
