Pain with deep breathing is termed "pleurisy" because its origin is usually from some irritation of the pleura...the lining on the lungs. It can be caused by anything causing irritation or inflammation of the pleura. Common causes of this irritation include pneumonia, the common cold, the flu, COVID, or post-op blood or tissue in the pleural space after chest or heart surgery.
