so i went to the doctors today and i guess i have Pleurisy...and it totally describes what i have been going through(.The hallmark of pleurisy is severe chest pain that starts suddenly. The pain is often strong or stabbing when you take a deep breath. It usually subsides or disappears between breaths. It's usually felt on one side of the stomach area or lower chest. Deep breathing and coughing often make it worse) .it is...... Pleurisy (PLOOR-iss-ee) is caused by swelling and irritation of the membrane that surrounds the lungs. It is usually a symptom of another illness. It is also called Pleuritic Chest Pain. and what kinda freaks me out is....Some cases of pleurisy clear up by themselves, but it's more likely that your lung problems will get worse. Possible problems include pneumonia or fluid build-up in the lining of the lungs. Some problems can cause damage to the lungs and affect your ability to breathe.
i copied and pasted like bractically all that...lol but ya kinda weird...so i guess today is a norml day cause it didnt happen..but on the day it does i have to go in for a chest x-ray ...so he can see all that is going on...blah...how annoying!
