Specializes in Pain Management

Blebs: chest pain is a common manifestation of a collapsed lung. Given history of pulmonary blebs ("blisters") and prior collapsed lung (pneumothorax), examination by a doctor and a chest x-ray is recommended.

Dr Seibert and 4 doctors agreed

It is: possible that you have a pneumothorax from bleb rupture. There are many causes of chest pain. Go to the ER or urgent care center for an evaluation.
