The attorney will come later. I just need to get myself better. Yesterday I started with a little cough and now I have just woken up in the middle of the night finding it hard to breathe. My chest feels heavy and it feels like there is fluid in there, kind of like when I have bronchitis. I have a terrible taste in my mouth also. My chest is burning. Can I get pneumonia from this? This is starting to really scare me. I may be heading to the ER soon.
