What Causes Discomfort In Right Lung Long After Surgeries For Spontaneous Pneumothorax?
hi, about 4 days ago i had spasms that felt like they were in my lung. it was a little painful and felt like it threw my heart off beat. now i have discomfort in my right lung. I have had 3 surgeries on my right lung many years ago for spontaneous pneumothorax. i don t know if that could bring anything up in my lung years later?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that there is some scarring due to the surgery which may cause problems.
Usually symptoms would include shortness of breath or chest pain.
There are also other causes of chest pain.Chest pain can be related to any structure in the chest eg skin, lungs, heart, muscles, bones
You may need imaging of the chest ( X ray), to look for a possible cause.
I hope this helps
