What Is Pleural Effusion?
6. Symptoms
A lot of people who have pleural effusion will not even be aware as they will show no symptoms of the disease at all. When they do eventually find out, it will often have been discovered by chance when being examined for other medical conditions with the use of X-rays and similar.
When symptoms of the condition do appear, they will tend to include pain in the chest, a fever, a dry cough, breathing difficulties, difficulty exercising, and hiccups that will not stop. A lot of people are unlikely to go and see a Doctor for what they think is the flu, but you should always see a doctor if the symptoms become particularly uncomfortable.
