Some of the most common symptoms of pneumothorax include shortness of breath (respiratory distress), rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, fatigue, agitation, dry cough, etc. Pneumothorax can be caused by a chest injury, an accident during a medical procedure, damage from underlying lung diseases, etc.
