[|Human|] i have been sick since thanksgiving of 14. First it started with a chest cold, didn t get better with meds, started cauphing up blood. Dr put me on more meds and steroids and inhalers, nothing helped. By mid Jan it wasn t getting anybetter. Sent to hosp 1st time they said pnueanonia, more meds, steroids and inhalers. By mid March still no better 2cd trip to er said other stuff healing but fluid in lungs and now have pluralsy. I always have a mild chest pain on the right side by the lungs, but on bad days if i do any sort of extra physical activity the pain intensifies to a 9 or 10, including difficulty breathing heart palpatations, light headed. The pulmonologist is testing for asthma, copd and anphazema. I don t smoke and never have or will. I m worried about my heart, my mom has congestive heart failure and my baby died of a rare heart defect when 2. I don t know what path to take and can t take the pain and discomfort any more
[|AI|]  Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Noted you have mentioned pneumonia infection... Do you have done chest x-ray for it? In pneumonia, it might show consolidation. In pneumonia as complication yes plural can be affected and so pleurisy can be there... You can do your sputum examination and culture for choosing antibiotic and tuberculosis will also be ruled out. By pulmonary function test asthma and COPD like causes will be ruled out.... If congestive symptom more decongestant can take... If your symptoms even still increasing then yes biopsy may need to investigate further. Take care. Chat Doctor.
