is my lung collapsed - #10139

Bella

female, 23 y/o 135 pounds, 5’3 about a week and a half ago i went to the ER for chest pains, my chest x-rays were perfectly fine and i had no heart issues. it was mostly likely from anxiety and they advised i smoke and vape less from now on. i have been smoking less cigarettes but vaping consistently. the issues i was feeling since then have gone away but today i noticed in the middle of my chest farther to the right side i will get a sharp stabbing pain burns a little. it started a few hours ago, it started all of a sudden immediately after vaping, but i was able to ignore it but now it feels consistent. does this sound like a collapsed lung issue and could something like that happen within a week of consistent vaping? i was told my chest x rays looked perfectly fine and my heart was also perfectly fine when i went a week and a half ago. would it be alright to wait and see how i feel over the next few days or should i go to the ER now? pain is worse when i run, jump, or bend over. i have been a consistently vaping/smoking for about 9 months, only going a month max or few weeks without smoking/vaping, prior to this i consistently smoked weed for a year straight
