Could be related: The complaints sound consistent with pleurisy which is inflammation of the lining round the lung. One of the more common causes of pleurisy is infection and most commonly viral in nature. Pneumonia also a common cause but many times that is associated with fevers, cough, and mucous. Anti inflammatories like Advil or Aleve can be helpful. It would be a good idea for a medical provider to look at u
