Pneumonia is a pretty bad sickness to have, it definately does interfere with homeostasis because it affects our brething which would affect how much oxygen gets to our cells. My mom, who had pneamonia four times as a child, told me it feels like a constant pressing on your longs and all you can do is cough.
Pneumonia. Wow. I had it before. I for one can DEFINITLY testify against its horrible symtpoms. Like Mike says, it feels like a pressing against your chest cavity. Your heart feels cold and it kind of has a stinging feeling to it. It would definitly cause the body to react to maintain homeostasis such as chills, fever, and other symptoms I can't remember.Lol.
The disadvantage to not being able to breathe is clearly not getting enough oxygen to the body's organs. Does this mean the body's nervous system is also effected since the brain isn't working at full efficiency?
Ive had pneumonia once haha i had to cough like 24/7 let alone how i had really bad asthma at the time. I thought that it was one was the worst times of my life cause I can never feel like being able to relax with out coughing.
