[|Human|] 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 dont 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 couldnt catch my breath. That happened twice. I would be grateful if you could advise. Thanks Dawn
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out bronchitis in your case. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is normal then no need to worry about bronchitis. Sometimes stress, anxiety and panic disorder can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
