An imaging study may be useful in determining the cause. Discuss a chest x ray with your PCP, so that the results will be available for the Pulmonary specialist. A collapsed area of the lung, pneumonia, pleurisy or muscular strain are among possible causes. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and worsening pain.
