Yes: Certainly, until your infection clears and your pneumothorax resolves any sort of exertion in to be avoided. Also, exercise can actually induce an asthmatic attack so you should be seen by an appropriate physician for proper treatment to get your asthma under control.

Probably: Get over the pneumothorax and infection, then resume activity.
