Pleuritis/Pleurisy: Pleurisy or pleuritis is inflammation of lining of lung (pleura) which causes sharp pain w/breathing. Go see your family doc to find out cause & get treated. Anti-inflammatories might help if you don't have contraindications (reasons not to take something). Check out http://www.Webmd.Com/lung/understanding-pleurisy-basics for more info.
