Does this sound like pneumonia?

Question

Hi, I feel like crap was wandering if this could be pneumonia or something else. Here is my symptoms.....bad cough with yellow greenish mucus, shortness of breath, mild pain in my chest when i get up to move i start coughing weezing bad and feel like i cant breath, im extremely tired and just dont feel like doing anything at all. Got a doctors appointment for Monday soonest I could get in but I was thinking about going to the ER if my breathing gets any worse. Only serious answers only please thank you!

Answer 1

I wouldn't wait until Monday, especially if your having difficulty breathing. Yellow/green mucus is indicitive of an infection. The pain is a result of the coughing and the wheezing is most likely from swelling of the bronhcial tubes which is caused by the infection. If you don't have pneumonia you may have bronchitis which is an infection in the large bronchial tubes. Go to an urgent care or ER immediately. I hope that you get better soon. Good luck.

Answer 2

I would say yes my daughter has it and we are both being treated with an inabulizer. she is also on antibotics and steriods. This is only thursday you doctor couldn't get you in today or tomorrow? Did you tell them you can't breath? sometimes you need to be stern and if you have insurance you have to have permission from your doctor to go to the er. coughing is good you need to get it up. you may also have aggrivated your chest as I did by all the coughing. taking naproxen but ibuprofen is the same thing. take 3 over the counter pills. that should equal 800 milligrams. try to sleep upright as much as possibe if you can. you can probably get an over the counter inhaler, but you really should ask a doctor first. I would be back on the phone with your doctor.

Answer 3

You possibly could have pneumonia so I would get treated as soon as possible so it doesn't get worse. Signs of having pneumonia are having a fever, headache, body aches, cough, sharp pains in your chest, discolored mucous or the chills. So it sounds like you do have some of these symptoms. If you have a stethoscope, when you breathe you will usually hear a crackling noise if you have pneumonia.

Answer 4

If you have felt this way for more than 2 or 3 days, go to the ER today. It's better to be safe than sorry. You may have a bad case of the flu or some sort of infection that you need antibiotics. Don't wait until Monday.

Answer 5

The coughing is unquestionably sturdy, that's clearing out the phlegm out of your throat, so as that's no longer some thing to agonize about. The blood is from always straining to cough, so back no longer some thing to agonize about. and obviously you're drained, each body is drained at the same time as they're unwell. At worst i'd say a chest an infection, if you're nevertheless demanding bypass for your physician, he/she will have a more beneficial useful idea than everyone right here.

Answer 6

Sounds like pnuemonia, bronchitis, or at least a really bad chest cold. In four days you'll either be all better or signicantly worse.

If you start to get light-headed at any time, if you start to run a fever, or if there's no noticeable improvement in the next 24 hours, I STRONGLY reccomend going to the ER.
