Possibly pneumonia

It's currently 3:01 AM. Due to my breathing difficulty with chest pain (here it comes again, it happens almost every month or so, FML) I can't fell asleep. I had to literally sit straight up so the pain will be less torturing. This feeling sucks, a lot; the pain makes me want to die. I have to breathe in and out really loudly in order to survive.

I googled about this problem and I think I might be having Pneumonia because the symptoms are similar to what I am having now.

"Pneumonia is a general term that refers to an infection of the lungs, which can be caused by a variety of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites."

"Often pneumonia begins after an upper respiratory tract infection (an infection of the nose and throat). When this happens, symptoms of pneumonia begin after 2 or 3 days of a cold or sore throat."

Signs and Symptoms:
* fever
* chills
* cough
* unusually rapid breathing
* breathing with grunting or wheezing sounds
* labored breathing that makes a child's rib muscles retract (when muscles under the rib cage or between ribs draw inward with each breath)
* vomiting
* chest pain
* abdominal pain
* decreased activity
* loss of appetite (in older children) or poor feeding (in infants)
* in extreme cases, bluish or gray color of the lips and fingernails

I had a really bad sore throat before it got me into this.
