Pneumonia in your lungs
Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia in your lungs
pneumonia
There is something called pleurisy which can hurt your lungs when you breathe, but both pneumonia and pleurisy are accompanied by a cough. Behind your lungs are your kidneys, is it possible that when you breathe your lungs are hurting your kidneys? Therefore it would feel like your lungs hurting but it's not. Just an idea if the doc is ruling out lung problems.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING SHARP PAINS IN MY LUNGS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, THEY ARE VERY ARE TWINGES WHICH FEELS AS THOUGH SOMEONE IS PINCHING THE INSIDE OF MY LUNGS VERY HARD, THIS CAN HAPPEN IN MOST AREAS ANS ON BOTH SIDES. i USED TO SMOKE A LOT BUT NOW I HAVE PRETTY MUCH QUIT, ONLY HAVING ABOUT ONE CIGARETTE A WEEK WHEN I DRINK.
If it felt like rice crispies were popping in your lungs, then it's most likely pneumonia. That symptom can come and go, it doesn't have to be constant. Rattling in the lungs when you're sick isn't a good sign, even if it's not pneumonia, and you need to see your doctor very soon or go to urgent care, especially if you get a fever.

I am not a doctor but I have Googled your question and this is what I found:
"Pneumonia in children and adults is caused by bacteria, virus, fungi or protozoa. Out of these, bacteria are the most common microorganisms, that have been found to cause pneumonia. These microorganisms usually enter the body through mouth, nose and eyes, and then infect the lungs, especially the air sacs or alveoli of the lungs. Pneumonia is more commonly found to affect the lower lobes of the lungs.
First time, the doctor noted traces of pneumonia in his chest and gave him Amox for 10 days. He was fine for another 10 days and got it back. This time, he got better only with IV antibiotics. He was ok for another 10 months with on and off colds, but this time he developed pneumonia again and had to be treated with oral antibiotics. I want to know if there is anyway to help prevent reccurence of pneumonia? Will there be any damage to his lungs because of reccurence of pneumonia?
I was diagnosed with pneumonia in early Jan. Several courses of antibiotics later and X rays, the pneumonia has gone but left some marks on the lung; scarring according to the doctors. Despite being able to cycle and run ok, I am still not feeling right and still have catargh on my lungs which is fighting to stay put. The worst is just not feeling that my head is connected, almost like I continually have had a glass of wine! Anyone else felt like this after pneumonia?

I'm trying to understand what is wrong with my sister...she has Asthma also Empysemia. She hasn't been well for a couple of weeks & her Dr daid she had a chest infection. Last week she was rushed into hospital, she could hardly breathe, put her on oxygen etc but it didn't help much. Had an xray, they said she didnt have a chest infection.
Then a CT Scan, they said she did have infection.
We live in Bulgaria and I am having a hard time getting proper treatment for my daughter. She is a year and 7 months old and last month we spent 16 days in 2 hospitals diagnosed with "Bronhit Pneumonia" which I can only translate as Bronchitis and Pneumonia. In the hospitals they changed antibiotics 5 times and did 5 xrays. After 2 weeks she has started coughing and wheezing after running and playing. This has occurred 4 times both indoors and outside.
Lymph nodes in lungs can swell in granulomatous lung diseases like sarcoidosis, in pneumonia and in lung cancer. The CT scan of the lung needs to be reviewed by a chest specialist along with other tests for you like pulmonary function tests, blood examination etc.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult your doctor.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Infiltrates typically mean infection, in your case, it was a subtle infiltrate....not too obvious but there non the less. You probably did have pneumonia, but since you have been on a week of antibiotics, it is resolving. There is evidence that it is there though by the sounds of your xray. It is good that it isn't a whopping infection though...hopefully the antibiotics finish their job :) Are you feeling better now? Any fevers, chills? If so, then I would talk to your doctor to touch base.
Aspiration pneumonia causes death because the macrophages in the lungs cannot keep up with the removal of the bacteria growing in the alveolar. The alveoli become clogged with bacteria and eventually lose all function because the lungs actually drown in the bacteria. Unfortunately, any foreign substance that gets into the lungs has the potential for causing aspirate pneumonia.
I had pneumonia, and I was hospitalize twice, once in February for 5 days and in March for 4 days, My chest scan
x-ray read now I have scare tissue in both lungs. My question is, what is the definition of scare tissue, is their
a cure, and how long to become 100% dissolve.
As of now, after a day of activity, I get tired and my chest tightens. The doctor said the pneuumonia is gone, with the exception of plenty of scares in both lungs. Will return to my active lifestyle?
Now, they said the water in my lungs has nothing to do with pneumonia but is caused by my heart being enlarged. According to my latest X-Ray results, I have Cardiomegaly, left ventricular form. According to my 2D Echo, I have Mitral Sclerosis with moderate mitral regurgitation. Are those caused by pneumonia? What's the best way to go about this? My doctor can't seem to make up his mind on what's causing them.
at_239, it might help in understanding to know that "pneumonia" is a catchall term that just means an infection in the lungs. You don't actually get vaccinated against pneumonia per se, you get vaccinated against particular bacteria that can cause pneumonia. So, as ANM says, you are not protected from getting pneumonia from coronavirus, or from any other virus.
I would suggest getting a pulmonary function test while you are sick to see if this is, indeed, asthma. If this is not the case, another possible reason is that the local immune system in your lungs is not protecting you from the infection. This is usually an antibody problem and can be checked with a blood test. I suggest speaking to your physician about these possibilities.
