WARNING : Lungs May Collapse Due To Loud Music

[esef]

Loud music can do more than damage your hearing - it can also cause your lungs to collapse.
Experts writing in the Thorax detail four cases where loud music fans experienced the condition, known as a pneumothorax.

One man was driving when he experienced a pneumothorax, characterised by breathlessness and chest pain.

Doctors linked it to a 1,000 watt "bass box" fitted to his car to boost the power of his stereo.

A pneumothorax occurs when air gets into the space between the lung and the membrane that covers it when small breaks occur in the lung wall.

hahaha, holy shit... i never would have thought it would make your lungs collapse though. i guess 1000 watts to a bass is too much. i would have thought so anyways for ears-sake

i got 3000 watts of bass and my lungs do feel a tickle when it hits a low note for a extended time. i think i'll turn that shit down when that happens! but only for a short time!

build up your chest muscles and you should be fine.
