Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your request to know what is the cause behind developing a spontaneous pneumothorax I am suggesting strongly two possibility
One is your chronic history of smoking this definitely has some devastating chemical components that can damage your lung and result into spontaneous pneumothorax
Secondly is your exposure to snow this has the potential of transferring air into your pleural cavity leading to this medical emergency(spontaneous pneumothorax)
Other possible causes include
Traumatic injury
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Lung cancer
Cystic fibrosis
Ashma
In view of this please continue to see your physician on appointment for further clinical assessment and expert management
Concerning your experience with burping no this will not lead to the spontaneous pneumothorax
I hope this helps
