Shortness of breath after pneumothorax operation, it is best to seek medical examination in time to find out the cause of shortness of breath. Not yet healed, lung infection, pleural adhesion, mild nerve injury during operation and psychological factors can all cause shortness of breath symptoms. Pneumothorax is a pathological state caused by gas entering pleural cavity. The patient's lungs are squeezed and often have symptoms of dyspnea. If left untreated for a long time, it may damage lung function and affect the health of patients. Thoracoscopic surgery is an important method to treat recurrent pneumothorax. If the postoperative pneumothorax is short of breath, it is necessary to see a doctor in time, find out the reason and intervene reasonably. Postoperative shortness of breath due to pneumothorax, it is best to see a doctor in time, take chest X-ray and do chest CT to find out whether the lungs are dilated after operation, whether there are postoperative complications and the reasons for shortness of breath.

In addition, some patients' postoperative nervousness can not be alleviated, and the symptoms of shortness of breath may also be related to psychological factors, so attention should be paid to emotional adjustment. When pneumothorax occurs, the patient will suddenly feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest pain and unable to breathe normally.

If a small amount of pneumothorax does not continue to leak, it can be observed temporarily and absorbed by itself after several weeks. A large number of pneumothorax needs timely closed thoracic drainage and exhaust, and requires surgical treatment. Thoracoscopic surgery for pneumothorax can treat bullae, which is a common cause of pneumothorax. The incision is hidden, there is no need for thoracotomy, the postoperative recovery is fast, and the hospitalization time is shorter than that of traditional surgery. Patients with pneumothorax should also pay attention to daily maintenance after operation, adhere to the diet structure of high protein, high vitamins and high dietary fiber, and do not eat spicy and irritating things.
