General & Family Physician, Dr. Dr.Albana Sejdini Greca's Response

Hello,

I am sorry for the health problems you are going through. I think you are going through bronchitis but with pleural affection explaining the raw thing you feel when you take a breathe. I highly recommend to consult with lung specialist, run chest X-ray to determine the right diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wish you fast recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
