Last year, I had been through this problem. Initially I had a sharp chest pain on the left and shortness of breath. After several visits to doctor and series of tests, I was diagnosed positive for bronchitis. I was on the medication for that. But the pain was still getting intolerable....which was because of Pleurisy. There was a mild pleural effusion on my left side.

The fluid was removed and again I went through the medication.

My tests are normal now. But, sometimes I still get such pains. Some people says that this is a healing process. I have been through a lot of readings on this. Don't know how to deal with this. Is there anybody who faced similar kinds situation??
