Hey Grace...Just so you know, I am going to list some of the most common symptoms that come along with pnuemonia. Cough, often producing mucus (sputum) from the lungs. Mucus may be rusty or green or tinged with blood. Fever, which may be less common in older adults. Shaking, "teeth-chattering" chills (one time only or many times). Fast, often shallow, breathing and the feeling of being short of breath. Chest wall pain that is often made worse by coughing or breathing in. Fast heartbeat. Feeling very tired (fatigue) or feeling very weak (malaise). Nausea and vomiting. Diarrhea. Just relax, and let us know how your appointment goes...by the way, when is the appointment? Best Wishes!
