Hello Doc. I developed a secondary chest infection where I was sweating a lot at night with temperature. I feel very shaky as well. Is this normal? I ve had a cough and cold for a week and a half but the last two days have been having night sweats and temperature. Thanks for your help

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you have developed the secondary infection of the chest might be of bacterial origin, which has lead to your symptoms.

The chest infection caused by the bacteria can leads to infection of the lungs called pneumonia, as you are having the symptoms of high grade fever and the night sweating this may be due to the infection of the chest.

I would suggest you to get X ray done, complete hemogram and sputum examination. The investigation report help us to make proper diagnosis and then we can proceed with the proper treatment.
Thank you.
