The doctor is unable to get hold what caused the lung infection.They are unable to control it. The doctor is saying that it looks like pneumonia. Today my mothers pulse rate is showing 100. I really cannot understand what is going on. Suddenly she had breathing problem and therefore she was admitted to to the hospital.As she cannot breathe properly that is why her pulse rate is showing 100. Does anyone had any similar experience?

The doctors will test her thoroughly to discover the problem and treat her accordingly. I hope she soon improves.
