[|Human|] Yes please. I have ehlers danlos syndrome and my son, though otherwise well, has persistent issues with pneumothorax, bullae and blebs. He was diagnosed in childhood as being vit B6 dependent. Is lack of compliance with Vit B6 likely to contribute to the lung issues?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion your pneumothorax problem is more associated with ballad and bless. If you are having bull and blew in your lung than possibility of pneumothorax is always high. Bulla and blew can easily rupture by coughing, sneezing, heavyweight lifting etc. and produce pneumothorax. The only solution for you is to consult pulmonologist and get done bursectomy (removal of bull and bless) with pleurodesis (iatrogenic adhesion of layers of pleura). Pleurodesis will remove the potential space for pneumothorax because of adhesions. So recurrent pneumothorax can be avoided. This procedure is known as VATS (Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery). So consult pulmonologist and discuss these. Vitamin b 6 deficiencies can not cause pneumothorax. And vitamin B 6 is water-soluble and easily available in day to day food. So deficiency of vitamin B 6 is less likely in your case.
