Good afternoon all, I'm new here.  I was diagnosed with bilateral PEs two and a half weeks ago (4 weeks postpartum) They said the larger clot/clots (never did say how big or how many) were in the left lung and that's where I had all my pain when I was admitted.  

I finally slept horizontal for the first time two nights ago since being discharged from the hospital and I woke up on my left side.  Since then I've had a rattle/vibration in my lung when I take a deep breath in.  I cough on occassion but it's when my breath catches in my lungs nothing comes up though, but it does agrevate it if I've been walking a fair amount or doing something physical. There's no pain associated with it either and it doesn't feel like my breathing or lung capacity is affected by it. I can take a very deep breath and it may catch a bit but doesn't necessarily feel like when I had pneumonia but I know pneumonia is a possibility once you have lung issues.  My husband said it's most likely just mucus that settled in there since I was on my left side and my lungs are still trying to heal. 

Has anyone else ever had this? I don't have any other symptoms of being sick but I just wanted to see if this was normal since I do have a baby in the NICU and cannot risk her getting sick at all. I have an appointment with a pulmonologist this coming Tuesday but that's a week away. I don't want to go to the ER unless I absolutely have to because of all the germs, I've been super vigilant about hand hygene, staying away from crowds and wearing a mask when I do visit the hospital while walking around because I myself cannot get sick and also cannot risk getting my daughter sick.
