A 53-year-old male presented to the emergency room with chest pain, shortness of breath, and back pain. He had recently recovered from COVID-19 infection and returned home on room air. Chest imaging showed bilateral hydropneumothoraces that were not present on the imaging performed during his prior admission three weeks ago. The patient was treated with bilateral chest tube drainage and oxygen support and responded well to treatment.
