Pneumonia - one year later

[PaulJ537]

I was hospitalized for five days with pneumonia last January. Recent x-rays and lung function tests show that I'm recovered, however, I have a persisent cough and feel a slight flutter in my heart.

I have not felt like I'm back to normal since my bout with pneumonia. I take Humira for arthritis, but all my doctors seem to think that this is not an issue. I have a healthy lifestyle and have never smoked - should I pursue a medical answer or a nutritional/dietary change?

I was hospitalized for 5 days last August with pneumonia, similiar story as you as well as really bad back pain had persistant cough and fatigue. I suggest pursue a medical answer as I have recently been diagnosed with myocarditis and pericarditis by cardiologist and am on medication.Am feeling a lot better although I know my limits.
