I have been hospitalized twice with pneumonia, and I've been fighting it for a few months now. I'm finally starting to cough stuff up. I am getting pestered by people who think I should be better by now. Didn't ask for this, this has been the most difficult sickness I have ever experienced. Still on oxygen, and it's hard to rest because I have dogs and animals to care for. Tired of this, it really affects your mental health.

how are you?

[@mohdhashimshaikh1849]

I'm battling it too

So relieved to read your comment, got pneumonia 8 weeks ago and it was really really bad, like fever for 3 weeks couldn't walk the length of the house bad... the mental toll is epic, I too am getting hassled by people who think I should be well by now but every day is still such a struggle- especially at the moment I live on a farm in QLD and it's that time of year everyone is burning off - the smoke is just unbearable on my lungs.
Wishing you all the best with your recovery ❤️‍🩹

I was diagnosed with pneumonia in the lower lung lobe 4 days ago. I'm on two antibiotics, I'm still not feeling great but better than I was at the beginning. I'll start moving around more today. Great video

Hi how about chest pain especially when breathing in?

[@Friendlyfire97]

English is not my first language. I don’t understand, I went to the ER because I tought something was wrong with my heart and took several tests, also checking my lungs. My heart was fine. But the doctor said It Looks like I have a very mild infection in my lungs, he started asking me if I got any virus but I have agoraphobia and have not met any person in 2 months, so it has to be trough my cat that goes outside or when I was at the store (wich is weird cause I don’t go to small stores and never in rush times). I don’t feel any problem with my breething at all, and I never did. Just very mild uncomfort in my chest area. How is all of this possible? Im 26 years old and have no sickness history just common flue every 5 year or so. Ive never had covid. doctor sent me home without any healing tips or treatment, cause it was so mild. Im just starting to feel very warm after beeing at the hospital yesterday, like I have a fever. But no problem breething, no cough. My whole body just feels warm an heavy. And I have no clue when Im supposed to be well or what to do. Im so confused

[@keirsinclair290]

Thanks for this informative and concise piece. Many variables but at least you've outlined them. Do you recommend any other ways to help the lungs 'heal' after pneumonia?? Breathing exercises? Thank you again.

[@7thNoteOfficial]

[@rachelsund-lumkang7188]

I had bacterial pneumonia in both lungs in 2017, which I recovered from. I've had 4 COVID infections despite being vacxed and boostered. This last COVID infection, Dec 23, has left me with a dry cough and tiredness which is not going away. My question is how would my lungs have been affected from both pneumonia and 4 COVID infections?

[@alonsogonzalez7934]
