Pneumonia

Mystery Man

I was diagnosed with pneumonia last Saturday and have spent a week off work resting and taking medication. Now a week on I feel better but still drained and out of breath, also got a sore back as of today. Wondering if anyone else has went through this and how long to get back to normal, Google suggests a few weeks.

Just started a new job so not feeling great being off but don't want to rush back and be useless too

I've had it two years in a row at the start of November, Both times it took me to about Jan before I felt like myself again. took about a mouth till I wasn't out of breath going up stairs.

Last year I tried to go back to work after a week off, had full coughing fit half way up the stairs and sit down on the stairs to rest.

Take it easy.

PSM1

I had it 2 yrs ago and had 4 nights in hospital with it. Then had a further 2 weeks off work with another 3 weeks of reduced hours. Had it in August and was not back training until October. Took until Xmas to get fitness back.
