Could The Pneumonia Be Related To Sinus/congestion?
I ve had very bad sinus problems all my life, congestion all year around. I lived in Michigan most of my life until the past 3 years I moved to Arizona. I have been diagnosed with pnumonia two years in a row and I now have the flu this year with nose bleeds. Could this be related to my sinus/congestion problem?
