as you have mentioned your symptoms it suggest you have chronic gerd and now you developed pneumonia,it might be due to aspiration,its chronic too,that means you also have developed resistance,its a serious condtition, you will have to take treatment in the hospital with IV antibiotics and have faith on your doctor,believe yourself that you will be fine,try to take oral foods
