I NEED opinions on pneumothorax, ovarian cysts, tachycardia, proteinuria/hematuria

Hello all,
I am a twenty year old female who has had many health problems this year. Starting in January 2011. I began to have sinus tachycardia. In February 2011 I had a large pneumothorax of the left lung and was hospitalized for one week with a chest tube then sent home. A week later I was rushed to the ER with another larger pneumothorax of the left lung again where I was hospitalized for 2 weeks. I had pleurodesis and cyst removal done to my lung. After that, the doctor noticed I always have protein in my urine, and sometimes blood in my urine. I was referred to a nephrologist but she saw nothing serious enough to do something about it. Then in July of 2011 I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst on my right ovary that had ruptured and was removed. I am always weak, tired, nauseous, and have headaches. Can all of this be related? Please help!

When I got my ovarian cyst removed, the surgeon check for endometriosis and I don't have that. Any other ideas!?

This could all be related. There are cases of enodmetriosis that I have seen who end up pneumothorax on the first day of their menstrual cycle.

endometriosis is basically in laymen's term's "back flow" of the menstrual tissue
