Yes it is possible to sometimes have pneumonia and not even know about it.

There's a lot of cases of people having pneumonia and they don't know about the pneumonia and sometimes don't know about the pneumonia until it's too late.

When someone has pneumonia and doesn't know about it the pneumonia is called walking pneumonia.

Causes of walking pneumonia and pneumonia are things such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Usually when you have pneumonia you'll have a fever but sometimes you may not get a fever with pneumonia.

Some symptoms of pneumonia are chest pains, tiredness, headache, sore throat, fever, chills and coughing.

If you think you may have pneumonia you should go to the emergency room or urgent care because pneumonia can kill you if not treated.
