What does pneumonia or walking pneumonia feel like?

Could a person have this and not realize it? I have not been feeling well for days and wonder if I could possibly have one or the other.

I have been exposed to the flu constantly at work and have felt like I have been fighting a cold or something. Now my chest feels somewhat tight, and aches, I have a headache, a slight cough, very tired, back hurts, etc. I don't feel terribly sick, but don't feel great. Of course, I have a lot of health issues generally speaking, so I never feel great.

Just wondering if someone could tell me what it feels like to have this.

Thanks.
