My aunt had walking pneumonia for weeks didnt know it til she got a chest xray had to take medication. Im surprised his doc did not require him to get a chest xray to see if he had bronchitis or pneumonia already

I had pneumonia a few yeasrs back- thought at first it was just a bad cold- Then got up in morning to leave- walked into living room coughing, and my legs collapsed- fell into couch- Went to hospital, legs gave otu again- i just lost strength ion them- it was a weird feeling- anyways- turned out it was pneumonia- spent several days in hospital- had couple of spot on lungs- they thought it was cancer- came 4 days away from losing my upper lung- got scared and asked for biopsies to make sure- turned out it wasn’t cancer- docs don’t know what it was- took a couple of months but the spots eventually went away but left scarring-

pneumonia sucks!
