I would say you have pneumonia. I got it in the spring of 2016 and it came and went twice in a two month period. Other than all the things you described, and I had it even worse, when it was over I had my entire life changed. I had to give up softball, my lung capacity had gone down to 59% and I no longer could run. Before that, I played 5 years, 15 seasons and maybe missed 4 games. After the pneumonia, just running out to shortstop to play my position I would get winded, much less playing. I also had to stop taking some classes at MVP because I couldn't catch my breath. I was sent to a pulmonary doctor and I was diagnosed with Emphysema and now I have 3 inhalers I use everyday. Consider yourself lucky you didn't have the lasting effects that I did.
