Excessive Sweating Episodes,coughing Up Brownish Mucus, Chills And Fever. Had Sinus Infection. History Of Pleurisy And Bronchiectasis

On Thursday--05/16/2013--morning I awoke at about 7ish w/ my body drenched in sweat. I had to change my clothes. I later felt chilled.(I am 591/2 and will be 60 in July.) I brushed my teeth and coughed up thick greenish, brownish mucous. On Friday, I coughed up same colored mucous, I began to have chills, body aches and a slight fever. Throat hurts. The body aches continued as well as my ears aching.( I made an appt. with my ENT as I had recently had a sinus infection, but it has not gone away and this is the first time I have felt chills, body aches, not much of an appetite.) The Ct scan showed I had "sinus disease" or infection. I have autoimmune problems--Systemic Lupus Ery. and have had pleurisy and bronchiectasis. Should I request a CT scan of my lungs as I am concerned the mucous may now be coming from the lung area? My gland around my neck feel swollen and it hurts when I touch them. Many thanks. Rebecca
