Man wakes to find nose ring had vanished - five years later it's found in his lung

A man who woke up to find his nose ring had vanished discovered it was lodged in his lung five years later.

Joey Lykins was rushed to hospital at 2.30am through fear he had pneumonia after coughing so violently he ended up with back ache.

Doctors carried out an x-ray and were stunned to spot the piece of jewellery that the 35-year-old thought had fallen out of his nose while he was sleeping in the upper lobe of his left lung.
