Pleuritic pain: Yours is a typical description of pleuritic pain, which is caused by inflammation of the lining of the lung. Typical in the context of viral infection. See a doc if short of breath, especially if suddenly and dramatically worsens, palpitations, dizziness or any other symptom suggestive of something more insidious.
