Brief Answer:
Pneumonia and pleurisy to be ruled out by blood work and x ray of lungs
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
when someone with your symptoma comes up to my office, i do a clinical examination with listening especially to the lungs. I would also do some blood work for inflammation, if any doubt about pneumonia or pleurisy is left i'd schedule an x ray. Also a heart condition should be checked for with ekg.
I suggest you talk to you local gp about these steps closely.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
