A 17-year-old high school senior presents to your clinic in acute respiratory distress. Between shallow breaths he states he was at home finishing his homework when he suddenly began having right-sided chest pain and severe shortness of breath. He denies any recent traumas or illnesses. His past medical history is unremarkable. He doesn’t smoke or vape. He has tried marijuana several times but denies any other street drugs. He denies any recent weight gain, weight loss, fever, or night sweats. On examination you see a very tall, thin young man in obvious distress.

On percussion he is hyperresonant over the right upper lobe. With palpation he has absent fremitus over the right upper lobe. What should be your top differential diagnosis?
