Could i be getting plursy with pain in my spine and shoulder blades?
Patient: Hi, I had Bronco Pneumonia and Sinus Infection about 10-14 days ago then kidney Infection 7 days ago.  I am still barely able to function.  When will I get my energy back?  I can't even go to the grocery store without having to sit down several times.  Believe me my list gets a lot shorter at that point!  I end up with this gasping breathing  thing happening by the time I get to the car.  My husband keeps telling me to slow down on my breathing.  He is worried I am going to hyperventilate.  My heart is pounding just walking upstairs.  And the weird breathing thing happens.  I don't particularly want to go back to the Dr unless I need to.  But I have mytrol valve prolapse and high blood pressure.  Another thing is I am having achy pains going down my spin and kinda under my shoulder blades.  Could I be getting plursy?  Motrin and the heating pad helps.  And Vicodin.  But want and need to get better.  Quick.  I have a 6 year old .   And my house is looking awful.  So please any ideas? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicIt can take 2 to 3 weeks for a person to regain their normal level of energy after an infection, so you still have a little while to go.It would be best to take rest breaks to allow your body to continue healing and do not push too hard.The pains are not indicative of pleurisy- this is inflammation of the lining of the lung and it normally presents with chest pain that is worse on taking a deep breath, coughing or laughing.The pains are likely related to muscle strain.I hope this helps
