Chest pain

Introduction Chest pain refers to the pain in the chest and thoracic cavity, which is not particularly strictly defined. Generally caused by pleurisy, there may be fluid accumulation (exudative pleurisy) or no fluid accumulation (dry pleurisy) in the chest. After the inflammation subsides, the pleura can return to normal, or two layers of pleura adhere to each other.
