About a month ago, I felt a sharp pain on my chest. Being fully sure of the fact that I'd been over exposed to cold at the time, I took antibiotics and couple of injections at the chemist. For about a week at the time the pain seems to radiate at the back, chest, and the ribs. It was the most painful condition I've ever been in. I went to the hospital the doctor listened my heart BP and ribs with the stetoscopes. I was under place on pyridoxine(predinosine) drug, and immune supression drug among others, so it became clear I was being diagnosed of PLEURISY. It was painful that I can't explain myself anylonger. I plunged into depression and anxiety. Whenever I'd get exposed to cold breeze it worsens. After about a week I went back to the hospital, by now the pain fluctuates from getting better to getting worse. The doctor gave me another NSAIDS but not pyridoxine(predinosine) this time. Its been almost 3 weeks now and my life has never been the same, I am still in pains sometimes better but I dare not expose myself to cold breeze. Pls how long does it take this PLEURISY of a thing to heal? I've not been able to go abt my normal social life, the pain is something else. Sharp stabbing pain on my ribs, chest and back, its gets worse when exposed to cold breeze. Only if I could explain the pain and its effect i.e I haven't been able to overcome completely the depression and anxiety. Has anyone been diagnosed of PLEURISY here? what was/is ur experience? How long does it take? Do you think the symptoms is PLEURISY type or something else? I hope to find help here, thanks.
