Specializes in Pulmonary Critical Care

See your MD!: Your having symptoms of Pleursy or pleuritic chest pain. Most commonly this can be caused by rib joint pain (costochondritis), or infections in the lung. First things first, you should get a Chest X-Ray to look for any structural problems and in the meantime take anti-inflammatory medication if safe to do so (i.e. Acetominophen or Ibuprofen).
