Firstly welcome to the British Lung Foundation patient's forum. I think you need advice from medics. You could try calling the BLF helpline on Monday morning for guidance on what to do next - 03000 030555 uk office hours.

If I were you I'd definitely be contacting my gp regularly to ensure my long covid history is on my medical records. Hope that helps a tiny bit. P

Basically pleurisy can take a long while to settle. I have had numerous episodes and have found from experience that the more you rush recovery the longer it takes. Sadly rest is the only cure.
