I was dx'd with pleurisy last summer. It's usually in my chest. I usually have a hard time breathing and my sternum hurts really bad. Before I knew what it was, I thought I was having heart attack. My wife drove me to the hospital and they did several tests, including a stress test to determine my heart was ok. They the doc came up with pleurisy. I was treated with Prednisone for a bit and it got much better. Usually you can receive some relief with motrin, but if you have any questions, best not to gamble and get into see your doc again.
