[|Human|] I have had chest pain and went to the ER. They did EKG, blood work, chest xray and then said they saw something suspicious in the chest xray. So they did a CAT scan and said it turned out to be pneumonia. But I am not sick. Can this be or should I worry that it may be a mass after all.
[|AI|]  Hi thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Term pneumonia is used to describe infection of one or both lungs.pneumonia is associated with symptoms like chest pain cough, fever and in severe cases shortness of the breath. You don't have many symptoms, other than chest pain. It could be either in the very initial stage or the infection could be old healed one leaving behind residual patch. There is nothing to worry in either cases. If you develop other symptom described above in addition to chest pain, you can recons ult your treating physician. Hope that answers your question
