A member asked:
Has anyone had their lung collapse more than once?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Repeat lung collapse: Yes, people have had this happen more than once. It is more likely to happen again if a person is tall and thin, the body type that is risky for this, or if they smoke, or if they have already had it happen twice.
