For almost 3 week I've had a persistent cough followed with mucous. It started clear but within the past week it has turned green. Now in the past few days I can't walk very far without getting out of breath, coughing and wheezing. I hear rattling in my chest when I walk and when I'm at rest. I've been having a headache within the past couple of days as well when I walk or even get up to do something. I'm drinking a lot of fluids but it doesn't work. Is this Bronchitis or Pneumonia?

It is dangerous and foolish to diagnose over the Internet.
You need to see a Physician.

How did you do blood work, a throat swab, and all the other tests needed to diagnose pneumonia, online?
When did you graduate from medical school? Does your medical malpractice insurer know that you're diagnosing people online without any testing?

It could be many things, why did you pick those two. And with 3 weeks, and getting worst, why have you not rushed to doctor
