Brief Answer:
It's Pleurisy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the follow up.
Looking at the description, I think you are having Pleurisy.
Pleurisy is a condition where there is inflammation of structure called Pleura (Pleura is a thin sheet covering lungs). This happens either due to Infection or dust or smoke.
However this is a self limiting condition, means it goes off by itself. I advise you to get a Chest X ray and Complete Hemogram to check whether there is any infection in your Lungs.
Also get an ECG done also to rule out Heart problem ( though I am not suspecting Heart problems in you but still to be on the safer side )
Revert back to me with reports.
