Avatar f tn https://www.webmd.com/lung/copd/ss/slideshow-copd-overview Here is an older post by a MedHelp doctor: https://www.medhelp.org/posts/Cancer/what-is-suspicious-right-upper-lobe-streaky-and-hazy-density-means/show/605916 Basically, they say that findings such as this can be anything from pneumonia to another lung ailment. Immflamation can cause these densities. Here is a comprehensive article on something to talk about with your doctor as to why you may have this immflamation. https://www.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'd think that at this point identifying the underlying cause is secondary. Of primary importance is making sure he doesn't have (or develop) pneumonia - that's especially true if it turns out that he does have immunodeficiency. Is his breathing very fast? http://emedicine.medscape.
1032715 tn?1315984234 I just read the overview and noticed it said it's for people off all drugs,I still take 4 different medications prescribed by my doctor-Zoloft for depression 200mg,Valium to help with the counselling I'm going through and in the beginning to help with the withdrawals 10mg,I'm also on a blood pressure tablet Ramipril 10mg and Omeprazole 20mg for reflux and heartburn.
Avatar n tn If you have a virus that resulted in pneumonia, while allopathic medicine has little in the way of anti-virals, there are plants that have anti-viral properties. Olive leaf and elderberry are two examples. Herb Pharm makes a tincture that helps with virus control. That being said, though, and assuming this is viral in nature, once you have pneumonia you have progressed significantly through the viral process already and the more important thing is clearing the lungs.
Avatar n tn Bacterial or viral lung infection can precipitate asthma with wheezing in a person genetically predisposed to asthma. Treatment of the presumed asthma, aside from treatment of the infectious pneumonia, is appropriate. So, this could be asthma, superimposed on pneumonia. Your son could have whooping cough, despite immunization against it. If his fever and sweating with clammy skin has subsided, it is probably a sign that the antibiotic therapy has been effective and the pneumonia is clearing.
Avatar m tn Influenza viruses can cause a common cold or flu, leading a healthy individual to take a few days or a week off work. However, the flu can exacerbate existing health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammatory disorders, leading to severe complications for individuals over 65 with a weakened immune system.

And here is an overview of the type of surgery that she had https://nyulangone.org/conditions/osteonecrosis/treatments/joint-preserving-surgery-for-osteonecrosis. I do hope it wasn't useless to have the surgery but I would question that doctor about what is next if they feel that way. There are other treatment options. And it's very important to find the core cause of why it is happening to begin with.
Avatar f tn t know yet, will be retested in Feb. I stopped tx after 8 months because I had pneumonia for 6 weeks and after that some kind of infection every month. Just could not take it any longer. Thought I'd bounce back right away and am really down and out that I still feel so bad.
1205142 tn?1265689562 The specialist can test for any underlying conditions that may be aggravating his asthma. Also he can then get the right asthma treatment in order to control his asthma symptoms.
Avatar f tn How are you now? There are symptoms of aspiration pneumonia but they normally last longer than a short bit. https://www.healthline.com/health/aspiration-pneumonia#treatment. Please let us know how you are doing now.
Avatar f tn Agree. If initial chest radiograph diagnosed pneumonia, it is common practice to perform repeat study approximately 4-6 weeks after antibiotic treatment to confirm infection has improved/resolved and to exclude underlying cancer.
Avatar n tn iam just geting over pneumonia and i have started getting joint pain.
Avatar n tn About 10 years ago,I got pneumonia from a hospital.After treatment, I still didn't feel well.One specialist said my lung was very big after seeing my X-ray film.After that,I didn't take any medicine. Recently,I breathe heavily and feel uncomfortable inside the chest after little excertion.After the pneumonia,I have whitish phlem all along.I think I have COPD.Would the doctor please advise?
Avatar f tn A1C normal as well. my symptoms have become more progressive over last 6 months. i had pneumonia in 2009 with radiologists declaring after several cts, bone scans that i possibly had metastatic cancer or possibly "myelo -something leukemia". after 9 months of testing nothing showed up. i continue to be followed every 6 months by oncology. could this possibly be some form of leukemia. i feel something is off.
Avatar f tn From the test results it appears that your husband has an autoimmune dysfunction called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. With Hashi's the autoimmune system erroneously identifies the thyroid gland as foreign to the body and produces antibodies to attack and eventually destroy the gland. As this proceeds, the output of the gland diminishes, and the Pituitary produces more TSH to try and stimulate more output from the thyroid gland.
Avatar f tn Hello. I just had a pneumonia almost 2 months ago and i had ulcer last November but already been cured by pantoprazole domperidone. Now i feel like my ulcer reoccured again coz im having heartburn,stomach pain and bloating and nauseous. My question is can i take pantoprazole again even though i just had pneumonia and still having shortness of breath and chest pain? Pls help coz i dont know what really is the cause of my difficulty in breathing is it from having pneumonia or my ulcer.
Avatar n tn , are not typical of asthma. These symptoms are much more suggestive of incompletely resolved pneumonia. A lung infection can trigger asthma but the symptoms of asthma are never limited to one lung, and failure of pneumonia to resolve always warrants further investigation. You should have another follow-up x-ray, now. The prescription of Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol fumarate dehydrate) Inhalation Aerosol does not mean you have asthma.
Avatar n tn Buddy was diagnosed with pneumonia and has gone through a course of doggy antibiotics and 3 courses of human antibiotics. The right lung is full of fluid. He would get better, then be energetic and get worse. It was suggested that he may not have pneumonia but CHF. Is there anything to do to help him. The vet doesn't seem to have any suggestions. Would a diuretic help? He's starting to not eat now.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia in the right lower lobe about four weeks ago. I had antibiotic treatment and an inhaler for ten days. I had another chest x-ray after the antibiotic treatment and my doctor said that my lung was looking much improved. The coughing has ended, but I still have not returned to my normal energy level. Also, when I wake in the morning, I usually have a feeling of discomfort in the right upper quadrant of my body.....just a vague aching.
Avatar f tn I am new to the forum. I will be starting hep-c treatment next week. I find this very informative and helps to know I am not alone. You all understand, not even my family can do that. My question is I don't know all the terms yet. What is tx, sx ,und, svr, etc? I also want to know has anyone had symptoms of hep-c before diagnosis? What were they if you had them? I'v known for 6yrs and in the last 2yrs I experience right and left sided pain.
Avatar f tn TSH is a pituitary hormone that is useful in diagnosis only when it is at extreme levels. The purpose of treatment is to eliminate hypo symptoms, not just get TSH within range. When taking thyroid med adequate to relieve hypo symptoms TSH is typically low or suppressed, Free T4 is around mid-range, and Free T3 in the upper third of its range, ora s needed to relieve symptoms.
Avatar f tn In looking at the drug interaction information, it seems that those who are taking the corticosteriods, are even more at risk for muscle rupture and more at risk for developing pneumonia. A chest x-ray a couple of days ago confirmed that I do NOT have pneumonia now, but I can still hear sounds in my lungs when I do deep breathing.
Avatar f tn I just got over a severe cold about a week ago, I no longer have any cold symptoms, but now I am having trouble breathing and sometimes I feel like I have athsma. Any thoughts?
Avatar m tn I have read many conflicting things on the internet about the asymptomatic time period of hiv, I have read the average amount of years before you develop AIDS without treatment is 10 years. What is the average amount of time before most people know they have hiv (develop symptoms that alert them) and does this differ by age at time of infection. Do people in their 20's differ from those in their 40's 50's and even 60's?
Avatar n tn Would carinii pneumonia present itself with just a minor cough and congestion and no fever, no rash or other symptoms. In other words is this type of pneumonia something that is more severe? I have not had an exposure to someone with HIV, but I have allowed myself to receive oral sex on occasion from guys that I did not know their HIV status.
1320511 tn?1274387399 I got diagnosed with pcos yesterday after having an agonising 5 months of not knowing what was wrong with me. One of my symptoms that took me to the door was a sudden and urgent need to urinate which was diagnosed as cystitis. None of the medication worked and I became really anxious and paranoid about it. I just wondered if any one experienced this symptom or if it had anything to do with pcos. Please! I'd be grateful for any information! It really gets me down!
Avatar m tn Aspiration pneumonia is a result of constant acid reflux into the stomach. You've probably haven't developed it yet, and you'll be probably fine, when you control your stomach infection, since this should stop your burping. Aspiration pneumonia can be only prevented, not really treated. Steroids maybe, but I guess, you don't have pneumonia already.
