@auroracambell, I'm not sure if @cindyconstien and @dutchw are still following this discussion on Mayo Clinic Connect or not. Having mentioned their username will send an email notification of the new message.
In the meantime Aurora, can you share a bit more about yourself? There is no known cause in about 25% of pleural effusions (See https://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/pulmonary-medicine/news/update-in-pleural-disease/mac-20451628) Have your doctors ruled out congestive heart failure, malignancy or infection as a possible cause? What is next for you?
