What Are The Symptoms Of Pneumothorax?
How do I know if I have suffered a pneumothorax ? I believe I cracked ribs playing hockey 2 months ago..... I now have some crackling and popping sound when I breath deeply.....but I have sporadic pains that seem to move around my chest on one side of my body...

The only way to confirm is to do a digital x-ray. This will show up the pneumothorax. In any case it will get absorbed after sometime. Regards
