It all started the day after celebrating her 21st birthday in May 2022, when she was opening gifts started to experience pains, and went to A&E.
Olivia said: "I felt like I was having a heart attack.
While pneumothorax can be caused by chest trauma, lung disease or smoking, Olivia noted that she didn't have any of those issues prior - saying there was "no obvious reason" she now suffered from lung damage.
Instead, they diagnosed her with pneumothorax - a collapsed lung - after an X-ray, and she underwent a chest drain.But shockingly, Olivia, now 23, has gone on to suffer three more collapses and, as a non-smoker or vaper, the young woman has been left baffled by the issue.
Despite no prior health issues before turning 21, she was rushed to hospital the day after the landmark birthday with pains that "felt like a heart attack".
