Given my symptoms I would say that I have Pleurisy. Last night I couldn't even sleep because it hurt too much to breathe deply and my side was killing me with each breath (it actually hurts more when I am on that side that hurts; it doesn't hurt as much when I stand up). Sneezing is out of the question. This has been going on for 2 days.
I am a VERY healthy person... Actually, I am training for a marathon and initially thought that I just pulled a muscle. So, no fever, chills, coughing, cold... As far as I can tell no underlying disease, just the pain breathing on that one side.
My question is when, given these condintions, will this go away? How long will it take? Because I don't think a doctor will be able to do anything for me as it seems to have happened spontaniously (and I shy away from medication unless absolutely necessary). And, should I stop running until this goes away?
ps - I'm 33 y/o.
Many thanks!
