Are Constant Coughing, Throwing Up And Wheezing A Sign Of Pneumonia?
for a week now I have porgressively gotten worse, started with a uncontrolled dry cough, so bad to where I would throw up. im congested and feel like a ton of weight on my chest. i am not producing anything to cough up. having a hard time catching my breath upon any kind of movement. and wheezing terribly. could this be pneumonia
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, all these symptoms can be due to pneumonia. Other possibility is bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x ray 3. PFT (pulmonary function test). Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection (pneumonia). PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. On the basis of these reports, you may need antibiotic, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Don't worry, with proper diagnosis and treatment, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
