Suffering from pneumothorax, can you still exercise and keep fit? Will it recur?
As long as it is normal and does not exceed its own limit, pneumothorax can still exercise after recovery. When you exercise, you must first master the degree, and you can't be too fierce at once, because your body will be too much. If you practice slowly, the probability of recurrence is not without, but it is quite small, so don't worry too much.

Extended data:

The factors that induce pneumothorax are strenuous exercise, cough, lifting heavy objects or holding the upper arm high, lifting weights, defecation, blunt injury and so on. When coughing violently or defecating forcibly, the pressure in alveoli rises, which breaks the damaged or defective lung tissue and causes pneumothorax. Using artificial respirator, pneumothorax may occur if the air supply pressure is too high.

If you have ever suffered from pulmonary bullae, had pneumothorax and had pulmonary bullae surgery, then most doctors will tell you: "Take less exercise in the future to prevent the recurrence of pneumothorax". Some patients are afraid to do more activities or even quit their tired jobs after hearing these doctor's advice. Life is worrying, and personality becomes inferior.

In fact, for patients after pneumothorax surgery, it is still the same sentence: no exercise is a big deal, and recurrence is a small matter. If you are worried about normal exercise, you will give up eating because you choke. Exercise may recur, but it will happen without exercise. It is an exaggeration to say that cough may recur and it is impossible to prevent it.

To sum up, patients with pneumothorax should still take part in some exercise, as long as they are uncomfortable and strenuous, the general problem is not big.
