8Pulmonary issues
Another likely symptom of this health condition is inflammation of the pulmonary system. The lungs get swollen which may extend to blood vessels in the lungs. Sometimes the diaphragm becomes affected. These symptoms may result in chest pain whenever you try breathing in. This health condition is often called pleuritic chest pain.
As time goes, difficulty in breathing may lead to the lung size shrinking. The two characteristics of this symptom are difficulty in breathing and chest pain. Some people refer to this condition as shrinking or vanishing lung syndrome. In a CT scan, the image may show the diaphragmatic muscles moving upward since they are so weak.
