10 Pneumonia Symptoms to Be Aware Of
5. Chest Pain
Some people with pneumonia experience chest pain. It usually occurs as sharp, stabbing pain or a dull ache when inhaling or exhaling.
Inflammation is the most common cause of this unpleasant symptom. As the infection spreads, it can make breathing difficult and cause chest tightness or difficulty breathing.
Most often, this symptom affects only one side of the chest or the other, depending on the site of the infection.
