Breathing is essential: Whenever you have a respiratory infection such as pneumonia or bronchitis and you can brief you may need to go to emergency room. You could get a respiratory treatment there such as a nebulizer with medications. And if you're doing okay at home I would recommend a coolmist humidifier. You can add Vicks vapor to the humidifier or eucalyptus oil.

I think my oxygen levels or something is happening in my chest. Have a scratchy cough (not consistent), tightness in my chest (feels like pressure in chest), I walk daily and recently have difficulty breathing and slow breath recovery. Legs twitch?
