   What is pleurisy & what causes it?

   • Pleurisy (“PLUR-uh-see”) happens when the lining (tissue layer) around your lungs or the lining on the inside wall of your chest swells up. This makes the two layers rub against each other, causing sharp pains. Pleurisy is also called pleuritis. Your lungs and the inside of your chest are each lined with a thin layer called pleura.
