SINGAPORE: It was a regular day in Ms Alina Boey's life when she suddenly realised she had dropped a dress size, without any changes to her lifestyle.
Ms Boey developed various skin conditions such as hives, while another pre-existing condition - eczema - also flared up.As she continues to battle her health issues, doctor visits are “exhausting”, Ms Boey said.THE EFFECTS OF PNEUMONIA “What happens is that when they get admitted for pneumonia, this pneumonia triggers a cascade of inflammatory response that then triggers off the heart blockage condition, causing heart attacks.”

He added that some elderly patients also tend to confuse pneumonia jabs with flu jabs. They think pneumonia jabs are only needed during flu season or when one travels.
