It is possible that you may have an infection. This can cause the symptoms that you are experiencing.
Since you are having difficulty breathing then you should be seen as soon as possible to see if you have a chest infection. The decreased food and drink intake may cause the electrolyte disturbance that would contribute to the abnormal sensations.
Blood tests such as a full blood count may be needed.
I hope this helps
