Experiencing Sharp Pain In Chest. What Should I Do?
Hi my friend has a sharp pain in his chest and an air bubble from his lungs popped inside him and he's in excrushiating pain, his school told him that is could have created a hole in his lung and could possibly kill him, is this true? Anything you can tell me about this so I can get him the help he needs? ~Concerned friend.

hi welcome to HCM
you r saying that your friend is having sudden onset of chest pain ,air bubble popped out
looks like a pneumothorax to me depending upon the size of pneumothorax intercostal tube drainage has to be done for him
get him to a pulmonologist as early as possible
hope you got your question answered
