Hey, I'm a week into hospital and the doctors can't find any blebs. I have had an X-ray almost every day and a CT scan which showed nothing unusual. I talked to the doctor about the tube placement but they assured me it was fine (Pigtail tube)

I am still on suction with a chest tube but the bubbles just KEEP coming. I was off suction for a few days but overnight the lung deflated (I'm guessing because I didn't move around and force some air out.

Getting increasingly nervous, might look for a second opinion or transfer - Doctors are unable to tell me anything about the cause or why this is happening..

I don't smoke and exercise daily so I feel my healing should be done by now!

Anyone else go through this? The last thing I want is surgery but at this point, nothing seems to be stopping the bubbles!
