Your symptoms could be related to your pneumonia. However your symptoms could also be related to other conditions such as reflux or muscular connective tissue issues. Sadly no-one can diagnose online so my advice would be to see your GP to review your symptoms.

thank you for your answer.

i went to my GP. my second x ray post pneumonia came back clear. since my last post i have tingaling sensation in my left arm, and a bit of tingaling sensastion in my left leg and left side of my face. i still have discomfort/dull pain in my left upper chest , shoulder and scapula. 4 days ago i felt my left inguinal lymph node swollen (about 2 cm) , left submandibular lymph node, left cervical lymph nodes (about 1 cm) and worst of all the right supraclavicular lympe node (about 1 cm). in adiition i had bronchitis in the last 3 weeks with a productive cough (green). now my couthing getting better. my GP said it my be a virus and didnt think much of it. but in a 2 weeks i have an appointment with a lung specialist. im very worried. i know no one can diagnose me on line but im looking for some reassurence or some adive.

thank you
