Pleuritic chest pain: This is pleuritic chest pain. Had this happen before? Did you sustain a trauma recently? It may be related to a prior lung infection. Sometimes it happens for no reason & goes away on its own. It can be, however, problematic. If you feel you need help, i would recommend a urgent care center or consult your doctor asap, particularly if you have difficult breathing.
