Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

At this age with such a presentation possibility of disc disease is more common.

You need to consult an ER or a neurologist as soon as possible.

Any urinary complains? Any history of trauma?
Investigation like X-ray followed by MRI spine may be required.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

You don't think these symptoms are related to over heating or not getting enough oxygen because of breathing through my mouth? After I sit for awhile other than being tired I feel much better.

Brief Answer:
Get evaluated and examined by a doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is better to get examined by a doctor to rule out any significant weakness or symptoms.
Oxygen therapy will not lead to weakness in all limbs until some metabolic problems or neurodeficit occurs.
It is unlikely to be related to low oxygen and mouth breathing.
Consult the doctor treatment you.
