Hi I am a 39 year old female, non smoker, not asthmatic however I keep getting pleurisy. Oridinarily I am in good health and am not on any medication. I have had 2 bouts of it in the past year and I feel it coming on for a third time. Ordinarily I don't suffer with shortness of breath or struggle to walk or run or dance. It is only when the episode presents itself in the form of pain in my lungs when I breath which worserns over time and the absolute exahustion and weakness that I feel. Once I had tightness in my chest as well and had what I describe to be like a panic attack when I couldn't catch my breath. That happened twice. I would be grateful if you could advise. Thanks Dawn
