Exercise after pneumonia?
Вставка

- Is it OK to exercise when recovering from an episode of pneumonia or chest infection? In most cases this is not a problem and may actually help the recovery process. Unless your doctor has a reason to tell you otherwise (i.e. very severe hospital admission, heart complications in the last few days etc.), progressively harder exercise at your body's natural recovery pace is probably going to help.
Do use common sense and listen to what your body is telling you. Make sure you are sleeping enough, eating well and not trying to be a hero.

Finding the boundary is definitely tricky because it’s changeable.
Great info, thank you. I’m still dealing with shortness of breath from viral pneumonia that landed me in the ER a month ago. It took a CAT scan to get a proper dx as it didn’t show up on x-ray. We had already booked a ski trip for last week. I was able to go and actually felt great because I rented a portable oxygen concentrator on the advice and prescription of my physician. I skipped skiing but I was able to walk several miles per day above 8500 ft. I live at sea level. I’d never had pneumonia or anything like it and it was awful and very frightening. The fatigue and SOB are definitely lingering but movement is aiding recovery. I’m glad I found your channel.
Me too!
Thank you Dr Stefan your videos are very helpful thank you 🙏
Very helpful !! Thank you !
I am an athlete with asthma. I have been suffering from a chest infection for many months which was missed by my doctors. I ended up on antibiotics which helped a lot. However after the antibiotics I still have a crackles sensation from the lungs (which has been there from the beginning - before antibiotics). I have gone back to my exercise regime which is quite intense. I am finding that my asthma very bad during this infection and after. My doctor upped my asthma medications, but I have not returned to baseline for 12 months? I am on another round of antibiotics as the infection was quite heavy in both chest and sinuses. CT scan showed mild inflammation throughout the lungs and secretions in left lung, no broncheactisis. I am not sure what to expect after all of this time? Seems like I will never return to how I was 12 months back?
Same but I have real pneumonia, I was diagnosed from it when I was a kid and it went away at 7 but currently it came back .
I too fell like there's no cure from it , I used to be all sporty a while back but now I just get saddened even by thinking about it ,
I am mostly out of breath
My doc told me not to exercise , eat fruit or even laugh too much ever again 😢
But I'm learning , that too, over challenges
By the way , I've found mew hobbies too
Hope we get better ,with time ,
When one door closes another opens please keep moving forward amidst the challenges

Buna ziua stimate domn, din pacate ma confrunt cu o situatie destul de ciudata . Sunt in vacanta in marbella de 2 sapt si acum in jur de o sapt a inceput calvarul- tin sa amintesc ca in ultimele 3 4 luni am avut un stil de viata destul de sedentar si am si pus cam 10 kg in plus ( 185 cm la 95 kg ) . In urma o cu o sapt am iesit cu bicicleta plus alergat ( in total vreo 2 ore ) iar seara cand ma intorc , aprind o tigare si bum- a inceput calvarul. Palpitatii la inima, urmate de senzatia de nod in gat , dureri in piept - senzatia de atac de cord. Bineinteles, ajuns la urgenta ( prima data cand patesc asta ) . Mi se face control la inima ( ecg ) , torax la plamani ( ecograf ) si ecografie la tiroida ( tot simteam ca nu pot inghiti si ca raman alimentele in gat ) . Totul in regular. A doua zi acelasi episod, insa fara a face miscare si pur si simplu stateam in pat si parca dintr o data am respirat “ invers “ sa zic asa , si bum, iarasi acelasi episod. Merg inapoi la acelasi spital privat , mi se recomanda nexium si ceva pt anxietate. Acid la stomac plus anxietate. A 3 zi iar atac de panic , merg la doctor , fac endoscopie ( ma gandeam sa fie hernie hiatala ) , o duodenita suspecta sau h pilori ( s au luat probe biopsii ) astept raspunsul. Crizele de anxietate s au transformat in atacuri de panica in toata regula de 40-50 min- insa tind sa cred ca ar fii atacuri de astm. Nu ma stiu a avea astm insa sunt foarte greu de diferentiat simptomele intre cele doua. Urmeaza sa las cazarea si sa ma indrept spre casa pt mai multe analize, caci aici am cheltuit in jur de 5000 eur si tot nu sunt impacat. Vreau sa stiu daca au legatura crizele reflux gastric cu atacurile de astm/panica si o durere ce radiaza spre rinichi? Tib sa precizez ca am 35 ani fara istoric medical , dar fumator inrait . Ma puteti ajuta cu un sfat sa mi ies putin din starea asta? Va multumesc anticipat
