Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Pleural thickening is healed scarring area of pleura.
It is commonly seen after pleurisy with pleural effusion.
It is permanent Scar.
Nothing should be done for this pleural thickening because it is healed Scar lesion.
Divert your mind from this. Don't pay much attention to this.
Continue exercising. Stay fit and healthy.
