I used to be an regular smoker, for 2 years but now I'm an occasional smoker I smoke once a week now, and after I smoke I feel slight pain in the right side of the chest I thought it may be due to gastric but after a week today I smoked again and I felt d same pain in the chest while breathing, so I google d reasons and got the results as it is spontaneous pneumothorax, and read it is mostly seen in men who are thin and height and I am both, and I have decided to stop smoke not a single cigarette again I want to know will the pain recur again or shall I consult doctor. Thank you.
