Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, the problem could be from the lungs or organs just below the lungs. An inflammation of pleural cavity as well as a kidney problem can give these symptoms. The prognosis can only be given after determining the cause. In my opinion, I would suggest you see a GP for proper assessment and management.

I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
