Specializes in Thoracic Surgery

Timing: If your lung is currently "collapsed", i.e. Your pneumothorax has not resolved, you should wait until recovered. It is generally safe to engage in regular activities if pneumothorax is fully resolved, with guidance/instructions from your thoracic surgeon. However, until surgical evaluation and/or treatment, limit activities accordingly.
