Question about pneumonia
So, I've been diagnosed with pneumonia about 2 weeks ago and had to take antibiotics. I have almost constant chest pain and it's very hard to sleep, my temperature isn't high, but it's above average (37.2 C) and there's just this annoying and painful ache in my heart area. I know pneumonia is serious and I don't expect to feel well, but the constant chest and heart pain really concern me, I haven't found any other people that had these symptoms. Are they serious or are they normal for pneumonia?
