1 month post op and today found out I have pneumonia

[Susan BAV]

Good evening...


I really hate to ask this, but are you seeing your PCP, or your cardiologist. The most common area for a plueral effusion is the right lung. You have ALL of the symptoms. The chest extra shows similarly to pneumonia. You have just had OHS, and effusions are quite common after OHS. And all of the antibiotics in the world will not get rid of it. I am a bit anxious for you.

Lisa - I'm so sorry for all of this pain and agony you are in. I'm glad Marybeth mentioned this also, because you may recall I wondered about it earlier on this thread...
