It depends on the severity and age of the person. I had pneumonia when I was pregnant with my daughter almost 10 years ago and I made it out just fine. There are lots of treatments available for pneumonia. Hope I've helped!

∙ 13y agoBecause pneumonia infection blocks the airways, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange is limited. Therefore, the person will feel extremely tired or fatigued. The chest (i.e. the lungs) may hurt including front and back. It will be hard to breathe when laying down. The person may have a cough, often productive, meaning the person coughs up mucous. In serious cases, the mucous may be blood-streaked or pinkish colored due to ruptured small blood vessels from heavy coughing. The person often has fever, chills, nausea (from swallowing mucous containing bacteria or the virus micro-organism), and may have vomiting. Pneumonia remains a chief cause of death each year, often because people do not seek early treatment.
