I know this is a side issue (or maybe not), but I'm interested in knowing what made them collapse?I did wake up one morning and my lungs had collapsed. That ruins your whole day and many more afterward.

I never clearly understood why they collapsed and I have had no problems since. I just woke up in the morning and had no strength. The doctor came to my house (they did in those days) and I was shipped to the hospital. They put a drain tube into my chest and I slowly recovered. That was in 1960.I know this is a side issue (or maybe not), but I'm interested in knowing what made them collapse?
"Had no strength," and losing it fast got me to the hospital, where they found I had blood clots in my lungs. A few people asked me if it was painful, but it wasn't. I just didn't have the strength to walk from my car to the emergency room. I got two cars past my own, and called the emergency room. They came and got me with a wheel chair.I never clearly understood why they collapsed and I have had no problems since. I just woke up in the morning and had no strength.

So glad to hear that!@RadishRose I'm fine now. I've been on blood thinners, and my swollen ankle, the source of the clots, which I had for a year without recognizing what caused it, is normal now.
