Bacteria?

I can't post,(OK< now I can), so I'm replying and asking a doctor this question: What is a common, very common probably, of a bacteria, probably, maybe that comes out of a heater, or filter cleaning system, for a house, that if you breath it for a long time, and your symptoms are that if you don't eat often you get VERY COLD, WEAK and TIRED. Do I need some kind of medicine, or antibiotics? And if I do what kind and what kind of test can I get to find out what kind of bacteria, I think it is, is.?
And if you don't know, either find out or find me or tell me who I can find out what I need to know.

Thank you so much for your advice. Sorry to be so long getting back here for an answer.
Actually, I think the problem is extremely small filtered dust with bacteria and whatever in it. I have these neighbors that put extremely fine dust stuff down my heater vent on the top of my house. They've done it at least twice. So I think the dust would have probably have commonest bacteria, spores or whatever that is left in filtered air machines.
I call them "Domestic Terrorists", for many reasons I won't go into here now. I'll just mention what they have been doing to me.
I've been trying to clean the house, a little at a time. It's seems so full of dust that I can't see but I can breathe and even taste. And when I leave the house sometimes the dust fill in my throat and lungs don't go away.
I make a make-shift filter out of a cloth that when it dries it seems very dusty smelly. I rinse it out with liquid dial and some bleach, hoping to kill whatever might be making me having a hard time to breathe.
In case this info might help in some way. These people flicked some kind of extremely light dust at me in a Walmart store. I didn't quite get sick, or I think I fought it off. They followed me to another store on another day and came by me of a few seconds. I'm guessing that they put some bacterial something of their sleeves maybe.? I started getting sickish that night and very sickin two days. I thought I might fight it off again, or maybe was wrong that I couldn't get sick like this. I was VERY sick for a week until I barely managed to go to the ER. I had a low temperature, I think maybe 96 degrees.? While I was sick I hardly moved, drank ate almost nothing. I had no pain, It was the opposite, I couldn't really feel ANYTHING normal, almost feeling NOTHING or sensing nothing or able to think except very basically.
The ER gave me Azithromycin Tablets, 2 tablets the first day and 1 tablet for each of the next for days.They said that if it was VIRAL they wouldn't help, but after a couple of hours after taking the 2 tablets I felt something in my stomach, and I started to fill a little better. So it was Bacterial, not viral.
Anyway, they have been putting stuff down the heating vent for awhile, I've heard someone on top of the house, but can never get out and see anyone fast enough. Same for all the other times they've been on the house and it the back yard. They manage to blow the heater filter OFF when they blow the stuff down.
My thinking is they are using filtered leftover from some air purifier or something. You couldn't even see it coming in when the heater was on, back it got SO chokingly dry for at least a week. I couldn't sleep much at all because I couldn't breathe.
I only have medical and not really a doctor yet, but saw one of the doctors here. Do you think if I tell him that I might need a sputum test or lung test, whatever it was that you suggested, that he would agree to it? The doctors seem to only do the most basic and littlest or nothing at all if you are on welfare.
I don't know  how to use the welfare  system to get well.

I am not a doctor, but I was a nurse...I hope this helps you. To see if you are growing anything in your lungs, you should get a sputum culture that looks for bacteria as well as fungi. If they find anything, they would probably treat it according to what is growing and what it is sensitive to.
Have you seen your doctor about this problem? It would be wise to do so so that you can get a full examination with the right tests. There are other conditions that could cause the symptoms that you describe so it is important to rule them out or in.
Good luck, I hope you find answers soon...Sunny
