Pleurisy

Pleurisy is a lung-related disease in which there is severe pain in the chest and this pain is increased by taking and leaving the sand. It affects the layer of tissues that protect the lungs, increasing the discomfort. Know what are the causes and symptoms of pleurisy in this article.

What is pleurisy?

There is a layer of tissue above your lungs called the pleura. It separates the lungs from the chest wall, but when there is swelling in the pleura due to some reason, that condition is called pleurisy. There is severe pain in the chest and the pain increases more while breathing. One layer of tissue covers the lungs from the outside and the other layer separates it from the inner chest wall. There is little space between these two pulverized layers in which the fluid is filled. Normally, both layers of tissues work smooth and do not obstruct the lungs from spreading and contracting while breathing and exhaling. But when you have psoriasis, these tissues get swollen as a result of which the two layers rub into you, causing pain while breathing and exhaling, but no pain when you stop breathing. So if you have severe chest pain, do not consider it just a heart attack, because this is also the main symptom of pleurisy.

CAUSES:

Viral Pleurisy

Pneumonia

Pulmonary embolism

Pericarditis

Lung abscess or empyema

Tuberculosis

Diagnosis of pleurisy

To diagnose pleurisy, the doctor asks for your medical history and performs physical examination. The doctor may recommend the following tests to find out the cause of pleurisy:

  • Blood test – To find out if there is any kind of infection, the doctor does a blood test.
  • Chest X-ray – A chest X-ray shows what the condition of the lungs is. This shows whether the lungs are completely inflated or there is a fluid or fluid between the lungs and the ribs.
  • CT scan– A CT scan is done to get a detailed image of the chest to find out the exact condition of the plura and the causes of pain. If blood is deposited in the lungs, it is detected by CT scan.
  • Ultrasound – In this, the image of the internal structure of the body is extracted with the help of high frequency sound waves, it helps to find out whether the cause of pain is pleural effusion.
  • Heart monitoring test is done to detect any kind of problem related to ECG-heart.
  • Biopsy – Plural biopsy is also recommended to find out the cause of pleurisy. In this procedure, the doctor makes a small incision on the skin of the chest and inserts the needle and removes the tissue sample from the plura for examination.

Risk associated with pleurisy

The risks associated with pleurisy can be severe. It includes:

  • Lungs are not getting blocked or as much as they should be
  • Puffing in pleural cavity
  • Sudden blood flow
  • Severe reaction to infection (sepsis)

Inflammation also causes fluid to accumulate in the pleural cavity, this is called pleural effusion. The pain in this condition may be less, but it becomes difficult for you to breathe. The doctor may give you a drug such as Duretics or remove the fluid under the procedure.

Ayurvedic view in Pleurisy

In Ayurveda, this condition is known as Parshwashool.

In Ayurveda, every one of the three doshas, vata, pitta kapha assume parts in causing parshwashool. When Vayu gets aggaraved and gathers from the body into the lungs. This kapha is thick. Hot Pitta melts kapha and changes over it into watery liquid. Accordingly, there is amassing of watery fluid in lungs. This disturbance of kapha can stifle the gastric fire and hamper the absorption. Powerful treatment is accessible in Ayurveda for parshwashool which incorporates certain Ayurvedic treatments, herbs and eating regimen changes.
