Aspiration pneumonia

Hello All.

I am a 38 yr old male with Gerd and LPR since about four years ago. I take 40mg Prilosec in the AM, And 150mg Ranitidine in PM. about one month ago I developed lower left lobe pneumonia and I was treated with antibiotics ans steroids. It seemed to clear up for a bit but I feel like it is now redeveloping. I asked my doctor whether it could be aspiration pneumonia, to which she said no because it always occurs in the right lobe. Of course I felt that this response was dismissive (as doctors can be) so I researched and found that aspiration pneumonia may occur anywhere. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with, or thoughts about this? Thanks.

Happy Holidays.

Yes, I've had it about two years ago, it was so bad they first thought it was tuberculosis. It is very important to stick to a diet until you know exactly was gives you heartburn. (which could be: allergies, a weak muscle between stomach and esophagus etc)
