Don't diagnose @home: Cough, shortness of breath, altered (fast) breathing pattern, fever (generally more than 38 deg C), chills (teeth chattering), chest pain / discomfort when breathing in, sweating (predominantly at night at rest), feeling tired/weak, nausea, & vomiting. The SIGNS of pneumonia include altered breath sounds (heard by stethoscope), fast heart rate, & (most importantly:) an abnormal chest X-ray. TTYD.
