What should be paid attention to in daily life after developing pulmonary bullae?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. I'd like to know what precautions should be taken in daily life if I have a pulmonary bulla?

Doctor's answer:

Pneumothorax is a disease that occurs again in the human lungs. Although many people are relatively unfamiliar with this disease, the changes in lung tissue structure are actually very common in anatomy. For patients who have this histological change, what should they pay more attention to in daily life? In daily life, the occurrence of this disease often varies depending on the different populations affected. Generally speaking, for many people who have long engaged in heavy smoking and have bad habits such as alcoholism, they should be more vigilant about the occurrence of this disease. Additionally, many athletes and workers who train long-term in dusty environments are more prone to this disease due to the special training environment. Usually, the rupture of pneumothorax is common in the body due to severe coughing, hiccups, and long-distance running.
