Do you think i should go see a doctor if i am experiencing pleurisy?

Yes: Pleurisy is one of many things that can cause chest pain. You should see your doctor because what you think is pleurisy could potentially be chest pain related to your heart. It can also be something not as serious, like a chest muscle strain or inflammation. You need to see your doctor so they can make sure the cause of your chest pain is not something serious.

Yes: While most cases of pleurisy are secondary to viral infections and resolve fairly quickly, there can be more serious causes.
