Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Weakness can be due to bronchopneumonia or due to antibiotic you are taking.
Bronchopneumonia is an infection. And decreased oral intake, weakness are symptoms common in acute infection.
Antibiotics can cause weakness but infection is more likely cause for your weakness.
It will improve once your infection and pneumonia resolve.
This will take at least 7-10 days.
So better to drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Also take light food.
Get done repeat chest x ray after 10 days to see improvement in pneumonia.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
