Question: Medical question here.?
if one already has a permanent collapsed lung, what happens if the other collapses, will you still be able to breath till you got help.?.? Health Question & Answer
Answers:
No. A pneumothorax (collapsed lung) means that lung is basically unuseable untill it is 'reflated'. The more breaths you take with it, the more it will get crushed as the air pressure increases in the cavity left by your lung.Health Question & Answer
it depends how bad it was collapsed, and how fast the get there, but most of the time you can feel it, if it starts to rly hurt... call the hospitalHealth Question & Answer
Presumably that would be the end. You can breathe with one lung but not if your one lung collapses.
