4. Respiratory Issues

If the initial valley fever infection does not fully resolve, it can worsen into a chronic type of pneumonia. Because of this, the respiratory issues present in the acute form of the infection become more pronounced.  A sore throat, resulting from coughing and other symptoms, can make it difficult to eat, leading to weight loss. Chest pain is also common.
