Pleural effusion can be better picked up with ultrasound, even minimal effusion. You would require a cardiac evaluation and few blood tests too,

C.t. chest would be better to see the effusion in detail and condition of lung tissue, mediastinal lymph nodes.
Also get cbp with ESR done .
Share results online and details of your symptoms.
For pain you can take tab combiflam one every 8hours for 3 to 4 days, after meals.

Since CT pulmonary angiography and CECT abdomen are already normal, and there’s only minimal pleural effusion noted earlier, no further CT is needed right now. Persistent chest pain may be musculoskeletal or anxiety-related.
Please consult me directly so I can evaluate your symptoms thoroughly and guide you on the right next step.

Book a consultation with me — we’ll go over your reports and pain pattern in detail to avoid unnecessary tests and get to the root cause.

Dear Practo User.
Thanks for sending across your query.
CT Pulmonary Angiography is detailed and usually sufficient to rule out major lung issues like clots. If it's normal and chest pain persists, consider musculoskeletal or gastrointestinal causes. No need to repeat CT unless symptoms worsen. Please follow up for pain assessment and tailored care.
Next Steps
For further details you can consult with me in Dr. Monga medi clinic or consult me directly by taking a consultation on Practo.
