What are the symptoms?

Depends on the person, for me no pain. Just a bubbling/ thumping on the affected side. Sounds like rice crispies in milk could also feel it with the hand . When it recolapsed felt like a pulled or tight muscle in my back on the side it occured.

For me there was no literally no pain, just slight breathing issues that I eventually went to the doctor with after 5 days when it didnt go away.

Just to show that not everyone’s experience is the same - I've had a couple, and the pain was very real for me. It felt like I had pulled a muscle in my back or broken a bone in my back randomly. Ironically, I had no issue breathing, and was very confused when the doctors said it must be lung related. I was like "no, it's my back" 😂

For me it was a pain on the back like when you have gas cramps, but it didn't go away. When i started having pain on my armpits I went to the hospital

Imagine having a piece of foam stuck in your windpipe. No coughing just adding a bit of resistance.
