Yes, it is possible to develop pleurisy after a fall, particularly if the fall results in trauma to the chest. This trauma can lead to inflammation of the pleura, the membranes surrounding the lungs, potentially causing pleuritic pain. Additionally, any underlying lung conditions or infections can be exacerbated by chest injury, contributing to the development of pleurisy. If symptoms like sharp chest pain or difficulty breathing occur after a fall, it's important to seek medical attention.
