Pneumothorax is especially common among tall, thin young adults , leading many people to wonder: “Why does my body type make me more vulnerable?” “Why did this happen even though I don’t smoke?” This guide explains the basics of pneumothorax, why certain body types are more at risk, what to do in an emergency, and how to prevent recurrence. How a ruptured bleb releases air into the pleural space and causes the lung to collapse 1. What Is Pneumothorax?
