Can you do proper exercise and work after pneumothorax drainage?
1. Pneumothorax is usually caused by rupture of pulmonary bullae;

2. The rupture of pulmonary bullae is generally caused by the sudden increase of pressure in the chest cavity (such as strenuous exercise, breath holding, etc.). );

3. Drainage only eliminates the symptoms of pneumothorax (standard) and does not remove the primary pulmonary bullae (original);

Therefore, heavy physical activity after drainage is easy to recur, and it is recommended to avoid lifting heavy objects as much as possible.
