You have a fungal condition in your lungs.
You have got a yeast fungus that has spread. In most people, yeast fungus is found on the mucous membranes in the mouth, throat and digestive tract. This is normal. The yeast fungus sometimes spreads more than usual. This can happen when the immune system is weak, for example. The immune system can be weakened by certain illnesses or medicines. It may also be weakened if the kidneys stop working properly.
In your case the fungus has spread to your lungs. As a result, the lungs can become inflamed. In your case the fungus has spread to the lining of your brain. As a result, your meninges have become inflamed. When the lining of the brain is inflamed (meningitis), you can have headaches or neck pain, for example.
