pneumonia

Avatar f tn Well, my husband had the same symptoms as well, but when he woke up today, it was harder for him to breathe so he went to the hospital and found out he had walking pneumonia but was given nothing to treat it because they said he has to get over it himself. Now I'm worried that it might also be what I have, but they found out by X-ray, and I know I shouldn't get an X-ray while 20 weeks preganant. And even if that was it, would they even treat me for it?
1100598 tn?1413127426 Ever since then, I have had chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting spells, weakness, back pain, a worseneing cough, low grade fever, chills, rash on my belly or chest, and nausea. The swollen lymph nodes have also returned. My doctor says I have bronchitis/walking pneumonia and put me on doxycycline on tuesday, but I am not feeling any better. I only have one day of antibiotics left.
Avatar f tn Yes “walking pneumonia” is contagious. The development of more symptoms, in the face of antibiotic therapy, is worrisome as is the “side pain” which I assume to be pleurisy and suggests that this infection may fall into the category of complicated pneumonia. In this circumstance you should definitely request careful reevaluation by your doctor or his designate to include at a minimum a repeat chest X-ray, a complete blood count and culture of your sputum.
1609219 tn?1298104935 I am very sensitive to smoke, and that can trigure a sinus infection-but can that really turn into walking pneumonia? Is it possible It has never totally left my system? Any help would do. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia two weeks ago. I was given Z Pack. I took it. It seemed to work for a couple of days then the symptoms returned. Doctor gave me another Z Pack. Same thing. It worked for a couple of days and then the mychoplasma returned. Question 1: Why did Z pack not get rid of it? Question 2: I'm on Doxycycline now. Will that get rid of it? I'm terrified to even get out of bed for fear that I will relapse again. I want my life back. Please help.
Avatar f tn 8 months prior I did have walking pneumonia as well. I have never had spouts of blurry vision other than the occasional dizziness from going on a long runs or working long hours. The only health problem I have had is Crohn's Disease. My family history is Mother: Ulcer Colitis and Dad: has a Pace Maker.
Avatar m tn My 4 yr. old son was diagnosed with walking pneumonia after getting hives on his face 2 days in a row. At first we thought it was an allergy we couldn't put our finger on because he has an allergy to dairy and sesame. But he hadn't come in contact with either one. Once our pediatrician examined him she said the hives were from walking pneumonia. He is on the third day of antibiotics but hives are still appearing on his face. They go away within the hour without any treatment.
Avatar f tn Did you get walking pneumonia after a flu or a cold? Or did you just start getting the lung issue by itself? Usually "walking pneumonia" is a dry cough with sometimes stabbing pain in the side. You usually feel okay other wise but the pain is bad . Or you can just have the hacking cough secondary usually to a flu or cold.
Avatar m tn sounds like a bad chest or lung infection.. if you had pneumonia?? you would have high fever also and would be a very sick person.. its very dangerous.. GO to doctors either way for an antibiotic..
Avatar f tn I had walking pneumonia four months ago. Now I have it again. I don't know why I have it again. Last time I had it I threw all of my cosmetics, tooth brushes, toiletries away because I was afraid I was re-infecting myself. I bought all new make up when I got better, should I throw it all away again to avoid reinfection?
Avatar m tn I have been to different doctors trying get help with my breathing problem My wife got sick 4 months ago with what she thought was pneumonia lots of coughing they finally gave her a zpac and she is fine. I got this cough and shortness of breath I went to the doctor with her and he told me that i have pneumonia and should be home in bed. He ordered X-rays and it showed my lower lung area clouded he said that he was worried about fibrous of the lungs.
Avatar m tn I went to doctors and was diagnosed with ear infections and walking pneumonia. They did CT scan and MRI on my head and found nothing. They never really diagnosed me with anything, but I had dizziness for about 4months, migranes, and light headedness. Terrible 4 months. Computers were tough to look at and reading was really hard as well. The migraines were just awful.
Avatar f tn But by Christmas it was bronchitis and double ear infection. Back for more meds. By end of that week it was pneumonia. I was admitted to hospital on New Years Eve 2016. I was kept in hospital 6 days and contracted flu b while in there. More meds and they used "The Vest" on me to help with pneumonia. I felt exhausted when I left hospital but understood it would take a while to recoup. By February 2nd I was diagnosed with sepsis.
Avatar m tn So about a week and a half ago I was diagnosed with bronchitis/ walking pneumonia. He said that it was bronchitis but then he found a specific spot and said it was pneumonia in its beginning stages. He gave me the blue inhaler, azithromycin (I'm allergic to penicillin), and told me to take tylenol four times a day. My symptoms leading up to this were dry cough, wheezing, and coughing fits so violent it set off my gag reflex and it has hard to breath.
Avatar f tn Or if it is atypical or walking pneumonia due to mycoplasma, that requires a different antibiotic. And if it is not bacterial or viral, you should know! So, follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and information. (and I know this was all over the place and not that helpful, sorry!) Let us know how you are doing!
Avatar f tn t a category for walking pneumonia or upper respiratory infection , so here it goes anyway. Ok, so Last week on februrary the 2nd I got a sore throat, the next day I had a runny nose and felt like **** for a few days after that and then I developed a cough, I went to the doctor and he said I had upper respiratory infection (bronchitis).. so he gave me a z pac which lasted 5 days, and after day 3 I started feeling better and after the last pill, I felt fine. No cough, no sore throat, nothing.
Avatar f tn Hello :) I just got diagnosed with walking pneumonia in my right lung (he said it’s pretty significant) but I don’t have any symptoms except an off and on low grade fever and I’m a little extra exhausted. No cough or anything. Is that normal???? Is there anything I should be watching out for to know if it gets worse? I started a z pack and he said call me Monday if you don’t feel better because he’d want blood work and x rays. But I hardly feel bad to know if I’m feeling better.
Avatar n tn Sometimes if a cold sets into the chest, you can feel the symptoms in your back. Also, Walking Pneumonia can give you these symptoms. They call it walking because you really don't feel like you have Pneumonia...slight fever, congestion ect...and you're able to carry out your daily activities. Make that appt. asap and remember, don't panic...you're going to be alright.
Avatar f tn 24 hours after finishing my 10 days of Doxy, my sore throat started to come back as well as that general crummy feeling that walking pneumonia gives you. So, I went to the Dr. to see if the pneumonia was gone. He said he could not test me because I would test positive for WP for the next 6 months. He told me he thought I just had allergies (yeah right) but he gave me 7 more days of Doxy. I have been resting more than I have ever rested before.
Avatar f tn Eduardo Benarroch of the Department of Neurology, the Mayo Clinic who can be contacted at, The Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic 200 First St. SW, Rochester, MN 55905 I wish that I could be of more direct assistance to you but the entirety of what you continue to experience is beyond the level of my expertise.
Avatar n tn The thing that concerns me with walking pneumonia is that for normal, healthy people to contract pneumonia, a virus infection is usually already present in the body that triggers the pneumonia. When I was told this, I automatically convinced myself that HIV was what triggered the illness. Can the presence of HIV disable the immune system in this degree so early into the infection. I don't want you to think I am questioning your knowledge, but these are questions I've had for awhile.
Avatar n tn At around the 14-15 day mark I started noticing when I would do something (like walking up stairs, etc...) I got pretty short of breath. This went on for another 2-21/2 weeks. I am thinking at this 2 week mark is when I got the pneumonia (a doctor confirmed at the hospital that I indeed had pneumonia ). During this ordeal I suffered no other symptoms except for coughing up sputum (which continued for a couple of months after, although very mildly).
582396 tn?1259863489 I am over the moon excited that DH got a 5-10 day appointment at Mayo Clinic - Dec. 10. Anyone have any experiences on what to expect etc?
Avatar f tn In December of 2010, i developed walking pneumonia. Ever since that, its went downhill bad. Seems like I get sick every month with a fever and it stays for a month! I'll be better for a month, then it comes back! Most of the time its just a low grade fever with not many symptoms rather than chills and fatigue which is associated with a fever anyways. It is very tiring and takes alot out of me!of when i researched, first thing popped up was HIV or autoimmune.
