Question: Can a doctor find pneumonia from an ekg and an x ray!?
I had an xray and ekg done and the doctor told me i was fine!. But I've been feeling sick for almost three months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Yes, pneumonia would show up on an xray of the lungs!. When the doctor said you were fine you should have insisted on a blood test to indicate if there are any underlying infections or problems such as anemia, thyroid or diabetes!.
If nothing shows up, you should follow up on possible indications of depression or anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

dont know what you mean by "feeling sick"!. but an ekg and an xray are for two different things!. ekg told doc about the electrical activity of your heart, but nothing about the circulation of the heart!. an echocardiogram or an invasive cardiac catheterization would give a much better picture of cardiac circulatory integrity (u could have blocked vessel/s for instance, ekg wont show that!.) the xray would definitely demonstrate a pneumonia when coupled with appropriate symptoms and lead to a proper diagnosis!.
so depending on what feeling sick means i'd go to another doctor and by all means take your copies of xrays, and ekg, yes they must be made available to you or you can have to sent to the other doctor!. i prefer to bring them myself, appropriate blood work should have been taken which would have also assisted in the proper diagnosis!. if you had an infection like pneumonia then the white count would be elevated, for a heart problem your bun, creatinine, or cardiac enzymes would have been implicated!. other metabolic levels would show other possibilities!. so if blood was taken then get those results and take them to another doctor!. lastly if your insurance wont let you see a doctor outside your plan blah blah blah, then keep going back to the one who saw you and keep complaining!. ask for other testing!.

Yes!. Pneumonia will show up in an x-ray as a faint shadowy substance (fluid) in the lungs!.
You may be suffering from chronic bronchitis vs pneumonia!. They both cause a painful cough!.
If this is the case, a supervised regiment of antibiotics would do the trick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

An EKG will only show how the heart works but if the Dr takes an X Ray of your lungs he will be able to see pneumonia if you have it!. It is very visible on a lung X Ray but it has to be an X Ray of your lungs and not another part of your body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The diagnosis of Pneumonia can be made by X-ray, yes!.
Often an EKG to determine weather or not the Cardiac system is contributing or being affected by Pneumonia will be done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It will show up on an x-ray, but I don't believe so on an ekg unless your heart was just seriously stressed from difficult breathing or chronic coughing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
