A member asked:

I was diagnosed with pneumonia and pleurisy 3 weeks ago. i still have minor pains in my chest & shortness of breath. is it normal to last this long?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

sometimes: I agree that's a long time. Have you stopped smoking 100% to allow full healing of your lungs and respiratory tract? Has fever resolved? Is your cough improved? If the answer to all 3 questions is "yes" - i'd give it more time. Otherwise, go back to your treating doc for another look. And please don't smoke anymore!
