About a month ago he did get the flu pretty bad missed a week of work. He has never missed work in 25 yrs. He also is working nights .

He doesnt want to go to doctor. should I be worried?  <response>: Hello read your concern and I think that your husband should see a lung specialist. If I were his doctor I would do some blood testsBlood countCRPChest X-Ray and if he is a smoker or ex smoker maybe a chest CT and then a Spirometry test. PPD testSputum smear for TB.EKG it is again a pneumonia it is very important to know the reason it is come back after one month? The pulmonologist will help you further. Thank you Chat Doctor.
