Go to the Dr asap I'm in the hospital now for the same thing.basically the shortnessof breath can be from sleep apnea which can be ttreated.or if you have uncontrolled hypertension you could have enlarged heart which is also treatable as far as I learn I'll add more but please go see a Dr asap

Please see a physician as soon as possible. My background is in IT so it is difficult for me to give health care advice, however based on my healthcare experience, we need to take significant steps to keep us safe.
Please let me know how you are feeling!
