Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that all your symptoms are typical of pleural effusion.
You should have an x-ray done ( CT scan will be better to measure the amount of fluid). pleurocenetesis may be required. You should consult a local respiratory medicine specialist for the above procedure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician
