What Causes Pain And Bruising At The Mid Back?

Hi I have just been diagnosed with pneumonia however I have a painful back mid section which feels bruised. I am also feeling dizzy and tired all the time. I seem to be able to control the dizzy ness by eating something. Can you tell me if this is all symptoms of pneumonia. At the hospital a ct scan revealed an infection in my right lung.

Dear- Pneumonia is a debilitating disease that can make you feel weak and dizzy while you have it and few weeks later.The pain that you are having is from the inflammation of the lungs or the membrane that covers them which is the pleura. You can have radiation to the pain to upper and lower back,this will start getting better as soon as the pneumonia subsides. The dizziness is from the same infectious process. You need to keep a healthy food intake and adequate water too to avoid more complications.Antibiotics should clear the infection, specially if they were able to isolate the causing agent.
I hope my advise has been helpful
