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?

I take deep breath every minutes. I did many times reverse breathing because I had breathing problem after eating full 5 months ago. Did I hurt lungs?
