It will be so dumb if this significantly affects her numbers.
Damn, I'm glad you went with your instinct there.If you really had it you know how much it can make you collapse. I had it in late December / January too.
Multi lobar pneumonia in both lungs. Thought I had the flu and carried on working for over a week. Kept getting worse, going to the toilet every night felt like I was blind drunk, couldn't walk properly, couldn't think properly. It was fucking horrible. My skin started to go a grey colour, couldn't breath, coughing every minute.
Went to the hospital to be told I had a chest infection. They gave me Antibiotics and told me to rest. Carried on for another week until one morning it took me over an hour to get out of bed, struggled to get downstairs and when I sat down on the couch I had a weird feeling I was going to die if I didn't go hospital. I told my GF that if I went sleep tonight I wouldn't wake up. Bear in mind I'm 24 years old.
Went back to the Hopital, they gave me an x ray. Their exact words were "if you didn't come here today, you probably would have died". Turned out I had sepsis caused by the Pneumonia as well.
This is the x ray. I've posted it on GAF before. The white in the lung is the Pneumonia, whole left (my right) side and half the right.
Long story short. Yes it can make you faint and yes it's deadly.
