Why is pneumonia so dangerous? - Eve Gaus and Vanessa Ruiz

TAKE VITAMIN D SUPLLEMENT IN WINTER, ESCPECIALLY IF MIDDLE OR OLD AGE OR DARKER SKINNED OR SUSCEPTABLE TO ILLNESS. Had double pneumonia twice in two years with my infection markers literally off the chart (maxed out on scale) Turned out my body wasn't fighting any pneumococcal so I just got very sick and ended up hospitalised both times. Best part was my GP turned me away 3 times saying I was fine despite me explaining I was constantly vomiting and hadn't eaten for a week and coughing and couldn't breath and having to get a taxi to the local surgery as I couldn't walk. In the end I got a taxi to the hospital and the guy I saw didn't even examine me and just got me a bed immediately I must have looked so ill by that stage. Best part was the practice manager went off on me for complaining and the only reason I didn't sue was because I didn't want to take money out of the NHS. At the end of my second stint (10 days in hospital) they got this cartoon sized syringe (enormous) and stuck it in my back to drain my lungs. It filled it with lime green fluid, yum. I couldn't believe all that fluid could be in my lungs or imagine how I managed to breath at all,. They did tests given I had such severe pneumonia two years running and found the issue with my immune system, they had no explanation, just said stuff happens basically. I then had pneumonia vaccines which seemed to trigger my immune response to fighting most pneumococcal again. Unfortunately the specialist centre I needed to go to was a train journey away and I got falsely accused of trying to avoid payment on an appointment so decided I would never use trains again and discharged myself and just hope the vaccines have worked. They tried to fine me £1,300 even though I actually went to the ticket office and asked for a ticket that covered my cost of my journey without one (I didn't know you needed one to board a train as that law had just come in and I don't use trains normally). Apparently I got sent a summons for a court date which I never received and the first I knew was a letter in the post saying I had been found guilty and fined in my absence, I had to fight it all while still recovering and couldn't get any legal help so did it all myself. In the end they said if I paid £40 they would drop it. I wanted to take it to crown court but for decided to just pay as this was the moist cursed of years. I had also received eviction notice from my flat as landlord decided to sell the property and had my brother pass away. Amazing what life can throw at you sometimes but here I am, still standing. I still get a lot of pain from the scarring of my lungs even though it has now been well over a year since my last bout, I weighed around 11 1/2 stone (around 75 Kilos) before falling ill and well under 9 stone (around 56 Kilos) coming out of hospital and barely able to walk (just a few yards at a time) As with most people with Covid and other illness it was found I had vitamin D deficiency and put on course of high dosage once out of hospital. I now take vitamin D supplement in Winter as vitamin D deficiency could well be what triggered my poor immune response to pneumococcal

[@erinthedemonhog2090]

My dad had pneumonia when I was either in middle school or high school. I was definitely younger than I am now. He was sick for a month & my mom took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with it & spent a week in the ER. During that time, my grandmother stayed at our apartment to watch my brother & I, making sure we got up for school, while my mom stayed at the hospital with my dad while he was recovering. The whole time I, along with my brother, grandmother & mom prayed to God every day & every night, begging him to not take him away from us. He answered our prays & helped my father recover. He was finally discharged after a week & we were all so happy to have him back home. He was still a bit sick, but all he needed was bed rest & medicine from the doctor. He's healthy now & isn't sick anymore. I'm also 20 & I thank God everyday for helping my father recover. He is a very loving husband to my mom & loving father to me & my brother.

You can be seemingly fine for a few minutes up to some hours (at most is 2 whole days) after the incident that caused water to enter your respiratory system. There’s two forms of it. Dry drowning & Secondary drowning. (Dry drowning typically takes less time to show signs of a problem) They’re both rare conditions but it’s more common in children since their lungs are smaller, however, adults are not exempt from it. It can be potentially fatal if left untreated. Water is scary y’all

I was three years old when I had pneumonia. My parents took me to our doctor who diagnosed it as a cold despite my high temperature and cough etc. He listened to my chest through his stethoscope OVER MY COAT. Needless to say I got worse and ended up in intensive care struggling to breathe. My dad was enraged and went back to the Dr's surgery. He made a big scene in front of a waiting room full of his patients. The Dr didn't even have the balls to see my dad. We were taken off the Dr's books after that and had to find a new GP.

I passed out for around 24 hours and the drip had helped me feel a little better. Every day after that I was visited by a lung therapist who would tilt my bed so my feet were above my head, I would lie on my side and breathe out as hard as I could, not coughing but just pushing out air. This caused much of the mucus to fly out. I spent a couple of weeks in hospital and I was good to go. Just some minor scarring on my left lung.

I had pneumonia when I was 11. I remember being so sick that I had to basically train my lungs so they could get reaccustomed to breathing normally again. On top of not being able to breathe properly, I was nauseated and had fevers that were so bad that I got delirious. It was such a miserable experience, one I hope will never happen again.

[@PathanPhoto]

Good video. Just one point to clarify. At 2:00 you seem to indicate that the patient will start feeling breathless due to accumulation of CO2 - this is incorrect. The reason people feel breathless is due to diminished blood oxygen level so giving them supplemental oxygen helps the symptoms. Retention of CO2 happens much, much later and is a grave complication and usually happens in people with existing lung condition like COPD. It is very unusual to happen in people with normal lungs. Giving oxygen on it's own in this scenario is actually even more dangerous and it is they who are ventilated. So, in summary, oxygen is given for low blood oxygen and NOT for high blood CO2.

I had pneumonia aged 44 living in a four season State and it turned into a really bad pneumonia winter for the State Down Under in 1997. Then again at 54 living in the tropics in 2007. The first time was accompanied by Pleurisy and Asthma, I was in a really bad way. Both times I was hospitalised but never told whether I had viral or bacterial pneumonia. I am guessing viral as I was never given any medication outside of using a nebuliser the first time. The second time was purely to monitor me because no treatment was given. I am surmising pneumonia in the tropics isn't common. I was working with the public the first time and it was a bitterly cold and wet winter and caring for my mother who was living with us the second time. Pneumonia is no joke yet so many are able to carry on with their normal lives with it, without medical attention. As many actually did in 1997 which made me feel really bad that I couldn't.

I’m 32 and started feeling sick about a week ago. I kept correlating it to food thinking it was something I ate. That next day everything declined. I became very fatigued, night sweats and then I started feeling a pain in my chest. I’m still thinking I got food poisoning. Days go bye and I didnt get any better so I had to the ER. They did blood test and x rays. And turns out I have pneumonia. I’m honestly just thankful to be alive. I know this is all happening for a reason. I just want to live better and be healthy because we only get this one body. I truly believe that was my saving grace was the fact I am so young. Because this disease can be worse for those more vulnerable. I’m on the road to recovery and healthy living!!!!

I had pneumonia twice in my life, the second time I got it I was 8 years old. I ended up staying from school for almost 2 months. The entire first month we’d go to my doctor every week as my condition worsened but she just kept saying that it was just a virus and all I had to do was rest. Then one night my mom took me to the ER cause I could barely breathe and there they did an x-ray of my chest and the pneumonia spread all throughout my entire lungs. After that I had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks. Not fun. Btw the cause of the pneumonia we’re cats. I had a lot of stray cats in my neighborhood and I played with them all the time and I probably touched my face a couple times after petting them.

As a child from age 6 to age of 9 or even 10, I had about 2 pneumonias per year. My immune system was literally as if I was HIV positive. If another kid sneezes or has some sort of a rash , I'm next in line to get it. The cure however was quite simple. Each year my parents started taking me to sea for a week (breathing the iodine vapor/salt from the area + the sun exposure in the non dangerous hours ), then right after we are back from the coastline in our city , they would send me to my grandma who was living in a mountain village that had paved roads up to 2km heights. TLDR: The air pressure and change of climate from the altitude did wonders for my immune system. On a side note: Being scared of Trash19 virus is rather amusing to me , having been needled with Penicillin and Gentamicin regularly while getting all kinds of skin diseases due to poor immune system.

[@rinneohara]

Pneumonia has been a horrifying journey. Had it back when I was 9 and I was hospitalized for around 3 months. At the time I was so scared of dying, seeing all my relatives and friends crying beside my bed. Every day I struggle to even sleep and I could only watch as the clock ticks away from 1 am, 2 am, 3 am... I relentlessly cough and always have the urge to throw up just because the coughing was too intense. Had to take medications almost every few hours and even some injections. I couldn't express how proud I am of myself to have vanquished such an illness and I hope everyone who currently has pneumonia gets well soon and have a nice day. I swear you would never want to have it.

It took the ambo's 5 minutes to arrive and start working on me. then to the hospital in Elizabeth. I'm home now trying to recover - feeling very tired and weak. Feeling very frustrated.

[@sycieq6324]

I had pneumonia quite often when I was young. Usually just staying at home and avoiding triggers would do, but sometimes it got so bad that I had to get hospitalised for days. Cold air was a HUGE trigger for me, I sometimes could go all summer without having an episode, but I’d get the worst episodes in winter as it gets petty cold here in Switzerland, so every Christmas break my family would travel to some tropical countries and my condition would get better. When I was around 8 years old, pneumonia suddenly decided to leave me alone, probably because my immune system got stronger, and I could suddenly ski and do all the winter sports without feeling any pain and no choking sensations, it’s awesome :)

In the next day or so, my mom found out I started experiencing too much fatigue and breathing heavily, I was so fatigue to the point I can’t even get it of bed, my mom started giving me the other antibiotic that heals certain flu. Next day, my mom still found me less active and more fatigue, my wake up routine is past 7 am and I started waking up at 9am-12pm due to my frequent/excessive crying during 12am-2am, so my mom begin to bring me to the hospital, the doctor started explaining what is happening in me and started saying that I had pneumonia, but in one case, they need evidence that I had pneumonia, so they took x-rays of me, checked my blood if there was any bad signs in there(maybe), and provided my mom with a nebulizer and antibiotic for pneumonia, in the x-ray they found no enlargements of my heart but they found clots of stuff in my lungs.
