Pneumonia in left lung

Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia in left lung

pneumonia

7900821 tn?1395192104 Lung cancer can predispose one to pneumonia but in that case the pneumonia would recur in the same place in your lung each time. In addition it is quite unlikely that the radiologist would mistake lung cancer for pneumonia. That still leaves the question of why you should have recurrent pneumonia, unanswered and that is a question that will require further investigation.
Avatar f tn Same here.. I was in the hospital from Jan. 17-23 Pneumonia in my Left "lobular pneumonia" here we are now on Feb 20, 2022 and my left rib cage feels like someone hit me hard there.. but my 02 is in the mid 90%.. but it really hurts to cough sneeze as you say burp.. which sucks because I am supposed to be trying to cough up remnants of the phlegm, But coughing is painful so tend to try to suppress it.. I have a Lung cancer screen CT this Tues the 22..
Avatar n tn I am going in for a 2nd draining of my left lung. The test on the fluid removed and blood tests did not show any presense of cancer. What could be the cause of the continued build up of fluid?
Avatar n tn The symptoms of cough with wheezing and breathlessness more pronounced on left side could be due to more affection on left lung due to asthma, allergic bronchitis of left lung, left lung pneumonia (though this will also cause fever) and aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia is seen in cases of severe GERD or gastric reflux where a part of the refluxed contents are aspirated by the lung. Left lung is more affected than right.
Avatar f tn Also had temperature of 103. The pneumonia was in left lung and turned to Empyema pus in lung. After thoracotomy I became septic. I was in the hospital for 30 days. Four months later I am experiencing sharp pain in left shoulder blade and above left breast. Also feel like I am wearing a concrete vest on left side. Lung X-ray and CT Scan show no problem. Now taking Oxycodone but it does nothing. Being of positive mind I hope this "healing pain" goes away at some point.
Avatar m tn I went to have a ct scan done and they found a 5mm pulmonary nodule in my left lower lung. Does this mean cancer? I am so scared i need some answers and advice.
Avatar m tn 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 am an asthmatic although controlled perfectly by ventolin etc.
Avatar f tn That should say "in substernal left lower pole" in my post.
Avatar f tn I'm a 32 year old male in Canada. I'm 185lb,5'9". I've had a dull chest pain on my left side right under my armpit area and around to the center of the chesty for the past 4 months. I've been ignoring it as it was such a dull pain I'd almost call it a sensation instead of pain. So I had the flu last week as did my whole family. I was hit hard, very weak, major headache, neck and back ache, fever. Never developed much coughing but felt a bit phlegm.
Avatar m tn The xray came back as either pneumonia or lung cancer. Small mass found on lower left lung. Treating me for pneumonia. I will have repeat xray possible cat scan. Asking in advance. How often is this found? Can pneumonia look like lung cancer? Day two of medication and I do feel better and fever broke. I still have pains from my cough and still expereince the sweaty, hot and cold bouts but feel better despite general aches and pains. They said possible cavitary pneumoina.
Avatar f tn and after my health got better there was fibrotic band in my left lung in apicogram.. is this any danger?
Avatar f tn Hello Alee, I am 47 years old male, I was in hospital for 30 days ICU with pneumonia that left scarring in both my lungs, my pulmonologist said the scarring is permanent that it does not go away, i am on prednisone since the hospital last August, no sprays, but there are good days of breathing for me and not so good days, he said that after a lung function test I have a mild case of COPD, so still being treated for this, I since purchased one of those finger meters and I test my oxygen from h
Avatar n tn If the lung nodule is not calcified nor has cavity, it is benign if it is less than 10 mm in size. The possibility of cancer increases in lung nodules that are bigger than a cm and have irregular borders. Also, the possibility of nodules becoming cancerous increases with history of smoking/current smoking/previous history of cancer/family history of cancer. If the nodule is due to TB then you will also have raised ESR, positive Montoux test and low grade fever or fatigue.
Avatar n tn I am a 29 year old female, never smoked, healthy weight and beside breathing and anxiety issues healthy.
Avatar f tn She stayed in ICU on a ventilator for 11 days. During that time she had a chest tube put into her left lung for a hole that showed up and fluid retention. She had congestive heart failure with fluid retention in arma and legs and both lungs. She had pneumonia, rsv and mersa in her kidneys and lungs. She was malnurioushed and the diabetes was acting up. She ended up with a thorancentesis on her right lung which removed 2 ltrs of fluid. Now we are on day 23 and she is in ltac.
Avatar f tn I had a cyst on my back that developed an infection in it when I got pneumonia. After many rounds of antibiotics and several chest xrays, I still haven't gotten rid of the infection. I also had the cyst removed.
Avatar f tn What comes to mind with your son’s history of pneumonia in the same spot is that there may be an abnormality of that specific part of your son’s lung, either congenital or acquired. There are a number each type, not common but also not rare. The congenital are usually the result of some type of anatomical abnormality.
Avatar f tn About a month ago I was diagnosed with pneumonia. Never been sick like this ever in my life. At the time I was pregnant and chalked it up to having a compromised immune system. Unfortunately, due to complications, I miscarried. I did begin to get well, but immediately following I experienced pain in my left lung and in the breast tissue. I am afraid as I'm starting think that I came down with the pneumonia the way I did because something else is going on.
Avatar f tn I almost forgot to add, I am 3 weeks past pneumonia now and I have pleuritic pain on the right side where the pneumonia is/was and I have a sore left shoulder. Apart from that I have no other pneumonia symptoms. I didn't have a cough with the latest episode of pneumonia.
Avatar m tn Sorry I forgot to specify that this specific spot of pain was in my right LUNG. Anatomically it is in my right ribcage on the side of my body in the middle. And by general pain I mean not only do I feel this pain in that specific spot that the doctor found when listening to my lungs, but I can generally feel it lingering in both my ribcages at this point in time.
Avatar m tn Consider PTB infection, both lungs, cannot exclude concurrent left lung pneumonia. Left upper lung partial volume loss.
Avatar m tn However, now one month after she was first diagnosed her cough has returned and the pain has never left. She in pain constantly. I do not know what to do or what is wrong? Does she need to be admitted to hospital? IS the pain being still there normal? Is her inability to talk for an extended period of time as she is in so much pain normal? WILL SHE EVER RECOVER? i am extremely worried.
Avatar n tn Hi, the opacity as it is in the apical portion of the lung, its likely to be due to tuberculosis, hence the apicolordotic view, means the ordinary X rays cannot visualize this area of the lung, so this is a special view from top. This could also be fibrous tissue from an old lesion. Also, the PPD could be positive due to an old infection.
Avatar n tn My concern is more the rattle though, which continues to eminate from the left lung and in the area the pneumonia was originally diagnosed.
Avatar n tn i went privately to see a specialist and had a bronchoscopy which revealed that there were traces of pneumonia on the left lung. but thank god no signs of cancer. i am constantly uncomfortable even with my bra on it feels bruised. hope you can help with this one..
