Hi there, I have had a cough and chest congestion for almost two weeks now, which has been going around. But I occasionally experience dizziness at certain points in the day, which is the part that has me worried. The dizziness only happened when the congestion became really noticeable. Could this be a mild case of pneumonia? Or something else?
Noted cough and chest congestion present since two week...
So here your respiratory examination first done with auscultation for rule out crepitation and rhonchi...If suspected chest x ray done to rule out cosolidation...And if consolidation present it could be pneumonia ... Antibiotic needed for it..
If you are not taking meal properly because of congestive symptoms then hypoglycemia may lead dizziness... Take rest and balanced diet taken....
For relief from congestion take benadryl like antihistaminic drug..
Do you have hypertension?? Cardiac history??? MI history??? As you have dizziness and if above history i asked present ECG or ECHO done to rule out congestive heart failure as it can lead dizziness ...Although dyspnea can also present in it......
Take care....
