Summary about Pleurisy in English

Pleurisy is a condition in which the pleura is inflamed. Pleura is the membrane formed by a layer of tissue lining the interior of the thoracic cavity and a layer of tissue surrounding the lungs. There is a small amount of fluid between these two layers. In a healthy individual, these two layers glide over each other giving lungs room for inhalation and exhalation. In the case of pleurisy, these layers become inflamed and rub against each other like sandpaper while breathing causing pain. Pleuritis, also called pleurisy, causes acute chest pain (pleuritic pain) that worsens when you breathe. A variety of conditions can lead to pleurisy. 

The treatment of pleurisy involves controlling pain and treating the underlying condition. Anyone affected with this disease will need to consult a good general physician. To find and consult the best general physician in your city you can log on to marham.pk.
