I'm a doctor and all I can say confidently from the above information is that you aren't qualified to diagnose yourself.

Do yourself a favour and get checked out by an actual doctor. Google doesn't actually replaced 7 years of university education.

I got nothing against doctors, I am just poor :(. The thing is the doctor cannot always be there, they don't know whats happening to my body 24/7. I can be wrong, but so can doctors, they aren't perfect. I like to use logic and my general feeling about these things.

 

For example here is a full rundown: All of a sudden yesterday at about 10am I had gotten my first symptom Watery Stool. I was not out of breath or anything else. But after 3 times of Watery stool by 1pm I couldn't breathe as well. So I went to class anyways thinking it was minor, struggled through class and then the 4th and last instance of Watery Stool. Was so out of breath had to take a 5 min break every now and then. Now notice something in those 4+ hours, I had watery stool 4 times, and did not drink a single drop of fluid. My muscles ached pretty bad too. During this time I had such extreme thirst. So I get home drink a glass of a watery liquid then sleep for 4 hours. Get up still feel really tired, drink another glass. Then an hour later drink yet another glass of liquid. Sleep for 4 hours again. Wake up and I am no longer winded from walking. All symptoms gone, other then minor feeling of sick.

 

From that I conclude I got food poisoning, which then lead to dehydration, which leads to less oxygen in my blood. Less oxygen in your blood as far as I know leads to muscle weakness and makes it harder to breathe.

I overreacted thinking it was Botulism, but botulism seems to have much more severe symptoms.

sounds like you had a mild diarrhea and dehydration from not drinking enough

botulism from undercooked meat is extremely rare (has to be an enormous piece of meat), as Botuli bacteria die from oxygene and lose out when in competition with other bacteria/fungi - improperly canned food (home-made) is a more likely source and even that is very very rare these days
