However, I don't get anything appearing in my serial monitor and serial plotter and need it to be if I want to get numerical results as well as the LED. I would like to know how that can be done
If you don't see the output from setup(), check the baud rate of the Serial Monitor. If you want to see more, add the required output code to loop().
You'll have to decide whether you want to see text in the Serial Monitor, or curves in Serial Plotter. Eventually add a button to indicate the desired output format, so that you can switch between both displays.
I waited for a few seconds but got either only one result, or a non-integer. I would like to get a change of integers depending on the motion of my respiration, corresponding to the number of bars which light up.

That would be a strange definition of working, then.
but got either only one result, or a non-integer.
Since you can't be bothered printing in loop(), you can't expect more than one value. Since you print only one int, I can't imagine how you got a non-integer (value?).

The code works because, when it is entered, the LED bar goes down to zero, and increases with an increase in electrical activity. However, when I turn on the serial monitor, it lists random symbols and scrolls sideways, rather than listing the integer result of say, level
I now have it working to some degree as I have numbered results, but these only arrive before I press serial monitor, and appear when I activate it, but the random symbols come afterwards.

You don't print the value of level. You print the string "level" which is NOT useful information. The rest of your problem statement sounds like the Serial Monitor (or whatever app you are using to see the serial data) is not set to use 115200 baud rate.

solved the string problem by removing the " marks. I still don't know hot to adjust my serial but will try
