  • Title: A 34-Year-Old Woman With Recurrent Right-Sided Chest Pain and Dyspnea.
    Author: Albores J, Fishbein G, Bando J.
    Journal: Chest; 2015 Nov; 148(5):e148-e151. PubMed ID: 26527442.
    Abstract:
    A 34-year-old woman presented with her third episode of acute-onset right-sided chest pain and dyspnea. She had two prior similar occurrences of right-sided sharp, pleuritic chest pain with radiation to the back and dyspnea. Chest radiographs during these presentations revealed a small apical right-sided pneumothorax that was managed conservatively with high-flow oxygen. All three presentations were associated with vigorous exercise and the first day of her menses. She denied cough, hemoptysis, fever, smoking history, airplane travel, scuba diving, or trauma during these presentations. The patient has been trying to conceive for the past year but has been unsuccessful because of uterine fibroids but no history of endometriosis.
