pneumonia , pleural fusion

[flump1]

Well what a weekend that was ! I went to GP regarding a problem with my urine ( bubbles) and ended up in A and E on Friday night with the above. No wonder my inflammation markers were sky high and I felt like death ! So after being pumped ( IV ) with antibiotics I am allowed home to recover with oral tablets. I was shocked to the core when the Doctors diagnosed me, I had no chest pain , no cough. How the dickens do you get it and how long does it take to recover from it ?

That diagnosis sounds very "iffy."

Did you have a chest X-Ray?

Have you got a follow up appointment?

[anneasquith]

oh you poor thing, might it have been pleural effusion ?

[flump1]

I did indeed have chest x rays Sqad, and apparently my diaphragm was too high for their liking ? No idea what that was all about. I feel better since being on the meds .

[Sqad]

mmmm! I look forward to further medical reports.

It might have well been Anne, I could not get enough oxygen into my lungs so they had a starting point. I had no chest pain though !

[flump1]

Got to have follow up xray and bloods next week Sqad, strange eh ? Still stopped peeing bubbles !

[flump1]

[vodkancoke]

Awww poor you! I had pnumonia and woke up (after feeling very almost hayfevery chest wise the day before) and couldn't breathe properly or sit myself up, felt very ill. Mum called a GP out and he phoned for an ambulance. Not nice, hope you're feeling much better soon!
