What Causes Air Bubble In Mid Back/ Lungs Area?

For the past few months, I have what feels like a air bubble in my midback/lung area. If I take a deep breathe and hold it while applying pressure to my back I can feel it pop. I have to do this several times a day, if I dont it becomes extremely uncomfortable to sit or laydown. Is this something to be concerned about?

Hello
Thank you for asking in HCM.

I think you for this discomfort sensation to do a chest X Ray in order to evaluate better the lungs and the thoracal cage.
And the lung doctor will see if it will be something else to do further.

Thank you
