What may be the cause of this?
There are 2 ways one could answer this.
You give multiple options and the best one is chosen from the list.
One can take a stab at the 20 or so different conditions that perfectly fit the description above.
Your scenario does not provide enough information to clearly delineate which of these could be the reason for the symptoms.
If the pain is one that starts in the chest and radiates to the back, it could be indicative if a heart attack...
If the pain is one that is worse when inspiring with associated fever, it could indicate pleurisy
If the pain is associated with associated shortness of breath, it could indicate a pulmonary embolism.
If it is a pain that gets worse when lying on your back and is relieved when leaning forward, it may indicate pancreatitis,...
If it is pain that is relieved by leaking forward, it could be pericarditis.
Fever and pain when taking a deep breath + shortness of breath
Pleurisy is the likely cause
Might be a pneumonia.
It turned out to be 5 blood clots in the lungs and mycoplasma pneumoniea.
Lucky me, huh? 😂
Mycoplasma pneumoniae was responsible for the pleuritic chest pain... The blood clots in the lungs were a possible complication
