There is a layer of tissue above your lungs called the plural. 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 smoothly and do not cause any obstruction to the lungs to expand and contract while breathing and exhaling. But in the case of psoriasis these tissues get swollen as a result of which both layers rub into you causing pain while breathing and exhaling, but no pain when you stop breathing. If you have severe chest pain, do not consider it just a heart attack, because this is also the main symptom of pleurisy.
