Can your lungs collapse by..?
Can your lungs collapse if you blow into a balloon and then permit the air backbone into your mouth. I was doing that later night and my brother come in and have told me "Don't do that your lungs can collapse, don't believe me look it up or ask mom!" And like I get really scared but I also didn't believe him because you know hes my elder brother in adjectives. So is it true can you lungs collapse if you do that?
Answers: No, blowing up balloons and reinhaling the heavens can not cause your lungs to collapse. you have need of to have a specific body type (tall and thin) or own a specific disease state before you are predisposed to have atelectasis or a pneumothorax. Atelectasis is when the actual air sac collapse and a pneumothorax is when a air overrun occurs and the heavens escapes into the chest collapsing the lung and can be life threatening. I give attention to that your brother was a short time ago pulling your chain to see if he could generate you jump. Brothers are such a torment aren't they?
no.. it's no different than breathing into a paper purse... all you're doing is breathing contained by carbon dioxide..
