Pneumonia

Hello. I’m a caregiver for my husband who was hospitalized last week with pneumonia, but he has a new ‘symptom’ that hasn’t happened before - memory loss. They said it was because the oxygen levels went down when he had trouble breathing the first days with infection.

My question is… has anyone experienced something like this? How long did it last?

  1. Hi , I'm sorry to hear that your husband is currently dealing with pneumonia at the moment. I'm thinking of you both. I haven't seen others talk about this within the community. But, that doesn't mean that others haven't experienced this. I'll allow others to get back to you with their experience around pneumonia & memory loss. I'm sending you a gentle hug. - Sarah, Cystic-Fibrosis.com Team Member
