Hello and welcome to HCM,
Shortness of breath is encountered in respiratory or cardiac ailments.
Pleurisy refers to inflammation of pleura.
Inflammation of pleura can occur as a result of various infections and inflammations.
Pneumonoi is a common cause of pleurisy.
You need to consult your physician for management of pleurisy.
In case pleurisy is occurring secondary to infection, appropriate antibiotic need to be taken.
Shortness of breath and chest pain will persist till the infection persists.
Thanks and take care
