So after suffering with extreme chest pain for a few days and thinking I had strained a muscle in my ribs, I decided to visit the Doctors. He immediately sent me off for x-rays which revealed I had in fact contracted pneumonia. wow who would think with no temperature no coughing and no other signs other than this extreme chest pain you could have pneumonia. I am told this is fairly common in young healthy people and is very dangerous as you could think it was something else and exert yourself and worsen the condition. I find that I am not able to take a deep breath and when I do involuntary I have sharp pains. so for now I am trying to find a comfortable position and do something quiet.
