[TAB100]

Hello, last August I was taken into hostpital, for ten days, with Legionairres disease, Phnewmonia and Sepsis. Following this I'm now feeling fatigued and have Vertigo. Any advice on what I should do. Thanks in advance.

TAB100, suggest you talk to your GP or try ringing 111 if you are in the UK.

Given that Legionnaires and Pneumonia will have damaged your lungs and the damage will take time to repair I would expect it to take some time before your energy levels improved and if the vertigo is related to standing up and moving around it could be caused by the facts that your lungs aren't as efficient in oxygenating your blood but it sounds as if it is a while you were ill. I really have no idea how quickly these things recover but it could also be that the earlier illness has left you susceptible to other infections.
