I am 21 years old, a month ago I had lung surgery due to recurrent pneumothorax and for a few days now my right lung has been hurting and I feel a little short of breath, what does this mean?

Hello everyone, I'm 21 years old, my lung has collapsed twice, I'm writing here because since the surgery I've been having panic attacks at the thought of not being able to reach my prime career. I'd like someone to share their story. It's important to me because sport is very important to me in my life. I'm 21 years old and have been a teenager for 10 years. I love football, but I couldn't play for a football club because of a heart defect until I was 18. Last year, I earned money by working hard physically and moved to Warsaw to study and fulfill my dream of playing for a football club. I only played once in training because I was running out of money and needed it very much to study. I had to give up playing for the club after the first training session. I would really like to go back there, but because of this disease, I lost 11 kg of muscle mass, which is so hard to lose. I've been working hard. I want to fulfill my dream of playing for a club and achieving the highest possible Prime, but now I'm afraid it might be impossible. The longer I don't work, the further I drift from my dream. I'm a month post-op, and I feel like my lung is glued to my chest. When will this feeling end? Why do I feel my right lung is less efficient? And why do I feel a stabbing sensation in my right lung when I had my left lung operated on? Please help. I'd like to return to full fitness to achieve something special for myself. 🥹💕71↘️60 now .
