Has anyone ever had pneumonia? If so, did you...

...have an increased or decreased appetite? thanks. I'm SO hungry I should clairify... sorry. I was diagnosed yesterday after an urgent care visit/chest xrays. I just think it odd that i feel ravenously hungry. Every website I look at says you will lose your appetite. thanks!

If you think you have pneumonia get to a pulmonary specialist before your lungs collapse and you wind up in a coma or worse even, dead.

I lost my appetite, and slept a lot. Mostly, I drank Gatorade and tea.

probably because your body is fighting the germs so it needs more food- energy to burn - fuel to fight for your body. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!!!!!!
