There are different degrees of a punctured lung. it is possible that you have punctured your lung. However there would most likely either need to be a penetrating trauma OR a broken rib that has punctured the lung. While you described medium sharp pains, it doesnt necessarily sound like a broken rib. The broken rib would be immensely painful it it was broken enough to puncture the lung. However because of your concern I would recommend going in to the ER because it is better safe than sorry. I hope this helps

go and get a check up from the doctor or hospital nearest you do no delay


coco

Well, you'd probably be dead already. But still go to the doctor. God does it really take someone to tell you to go to the doctor?

First of all, something would have had to have punctured it.
Is there a bullet hole or knife or something hanging out of you?
If not, you probably worked your lungs a bit too hard and should start slowly next time, building them up just like a muscle until you are in shape for hard, long running.

Sudden shortness of breath and pain felt in the chest are classic symptoms that warrant immediate medical referral. I doubt you have a punctured a lung from running though.


Incidentally, your spelling is more of a concern than your possible punctured lung


Hey it's Ken!
Wow, these people are harsh!

Basically, if you punctured your lung, air would build up in your pleural cavity (it's an extra area around your lungs). Did you ever watch the move "Three Kings" with George Clooney, Ice Cube, and Mark Wahlberg? Remember when Marky Mark's character punctured his lung? George Clooney's character put in that release valve to release the pressure. Basically it was like he couldn't exhale properly so air just built up in his lung
