I went to the er with chest pains, an ecg showed no abnormalities. a doctor listened to my lungs with a stethascope, would this exam have highlighted pneumothorax? the pain is now in my mid back.

Not your Heart: You have anxiety, panic, stress or all of the above. You did not need to go to the er. Heart troubles have a myriad of symptoms in a male. Yes, the exam, and vitals would have also ruled out a pneumothorax. Now. Lets deal with the underlying real problem which is that at 28 you are not managing your stress well. You are carrying it all in your chest and your chest muslces are tired or fatigued.

Possibly: Decreased breath sounds suggest pneumothorax as one of the possibilities. Any family history of Marfan syndrome? May get chest x-ray, possibly echocardiogram.
