Doc suspects I have pneumonia, but I have no cough, no fever etc
Have you ever had it and felt just tired? I also have a fluttering/vibrating in my lungs which is strange but thats all. I went to the doc b/c pneumonia is going around in my school and Id want to be careful if I had it.
I was just amazed that with only a digital breathing test and a listen to my chest and she gives me 3 meds. She suspects pneumonia or possibly bronchitis. She also wants me to go for an X-Ray which I'll try to go Monday for. I'm just confused. Have you ever had either without a fever or cough. I dont have a stuffy runny nose, nothing. Just tired and the fluttering.
Just so strange.

I've had 'asthmatic bronchitis' which they say is basically the wheezing, fluttering wet noises in the lungs without coughing, nose running etc.

Interesting. I am going Monday if possible for the X-Ray b/c Im afraid of it getting worse. Im almost done with the antibiotics and still feel the same. Its just the strangest thing. Today was also the first day I used the inhaler she gave me just in case.

My mom did. She wasn't coughing and no fever but she had pain and couldn't take deep breathes.

If they gave you a steroid inhaler you should use it - regardless of how you feel. It will help your lungs so you don't get worse.
feel better!

She gave me an antibiotic which I am taking and 2 inhalers. 1 I take twice a day. The other I am only supposed to use when I really need it. I have started to cough things up today. ick.

The twice a day is probably the steroid inhaler, the other one is just a rescue inhaler.
The steroid inhaler should help your breathing.

When i had pneumonia, i was really sick - HIGH fever, awful cough, literally could barely breathe. Same for my mom and brother when they had it.
But i'm sure these things affect people differently. Feel better soon!
