Pleurisy is inflammation of the sac that holds your lungs and it can hurt on either or both sides. It can happen after a bout of bronchitis or bad cold where you cough a lot. It's pretty painful and exhausting and you need an antibiotic to get over it.

Fluid collection around the lungs. Painful as hell to breath.

It usually went away in a week or two for me. Got it working in and out of a meat cooler.
