Is It Safe To Work In A Poor Circulation Environment When Suffering From Pneumonia?
a doctor told me on Saturday that I might have pneumonia. I had xrays done today but will not get the results for a couple of days. I work in an office with a number of people and the air circulation is poor at best. is it safe for me to go into work tomorrow?

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
If you have pneumonia , and you work in ill ventillated area , you should avoid due to 2 reasons :
1. You will get hypovventillation
2. Other people can contract pneumonia from you.
i would advise you to take rest and get treated well.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
