Please help support me with my lung surgeries

Hi my name is Henry, I am 24yrs old and have been put in very unfortunate circumstances for my age. All support will be deeply appreciated as well as if you take the time to read this.

I have been struggling for many months with constant spontaneous pneumothorax’s as I am tall, slender and male. There was nothing I could have done or stopped doing to have changed these circumstances as it is just the way I was made. It has ended up with me in and out of hospital, unable to work, unable to breathe very well and in quite severe pain.

Spontaneous Pneumothorax is caused from the pressure inside the chest cavity being too much for the little bubbles or the technical term “blebs” on the outside of your lungs. The abnormal pressure is caused by the specific build (tall, slender and majority males) this causes them to burst spontaneously at any point no matter if you are sitting, sleeping or doing strenuous activities. Once they burst you then have a hole in your lung, which causes your lung to collapse. Not only does your lung collapse but air escapes into your chest cavity as you try to breathe. This is where it gets quite scary. If enough air escapes into your chest cavity it can start moving organs around from the pressure, organs such as your heart which if pushed too much, is fatal.

I have had no choice but to have surgery and try to recover as quickly as possible, but the first surgery has failed. I am currently undergoing another surgery just over 2 weeks from the last and am hoping it will work out this time.

Any and all support is very much appreciated in this hard time, I have medical bills piling up as well as life expenses that I no longer can work for to be able to afford.

Thank you in advance

Henry
