and please be serious. thank you for all of your help! [:

Answer 1

These symptoms have a very wide range of causes. There's no need to panic, because this is probably not something serious.

The heavy breathing is probably caused by you freaking out, try relaxing. If it still doesn't stop and you get some serious chest pain, then you should really see someone.

Answer 2

probably breathing fast cause your freaking out, stuffy nose has nothing to do with it, deep breath and if you cough up anything greenish then it could be, but just deep breath and cough out that stuff and you'll be fine

drink plenty of fluids too

Answer 3

I am sure you do not have pneumonia. Do you have a fever? You would definitely have a fever if you were really sick. Also with pneumonia, you get a heavy feeling in your chest and can not catch your breath. It sounds like you are having an anxiety attack or panic attack and are causing your breathing issue. Sounds like you are suffering from allergies or a cold.

If you truly had pneumonia you would not be up and able to type your question. Pneumonia makes you extreemly tired, you really can not do anything at all but sleep.

Answer 4

That sounds very much like pneumonia.  I know you can't afford it, but you need to get to the Dr.  Find a clinic that will allow you to make payments.  Breathing is the major thing with pneumonia, and it can be very dangerous if you don't take care of it.   Tell the Dr. you don't have money, and I'm sure they will try to make it as inexpensive as possible.  By the way, I had it and I was teaching an aerobics class and suddenly had difficulty breathing and was rushed to the ER.  Diagnosis was pneumonia, so yes, you CAN be out and about doing things.  I felt just fine, just like I had a slight cold.

Pneumonia is an inflammatory illness of the lung.[1] Frequently, it is described as lung parenchyma/alveolar inflammation and abnormal alveolar filling with fluid. The alveoli are microscopic air-filled sacs in the lungs responsible for absorbing oxygen. Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Its cause may also be officially described as idiopathic—that is, unknown—when infectious causes have been excluded.

Typical symptoms associated with pneumonia include cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty in breathing. Diagnostic tools include x-rays and examination of the sputum. Treatment depends on the cause of pneumonia; bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics.

Pneumonia is a common illness which occurs in all age groups, and is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill. Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. The prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia, the appropriate treatment, any complications, and the person's underlying health.
