Dear Donna,
I am glad that you are going to a cardiologist.
Maybe they can find out what is wrong with you so that they can then treat you. Are you having any fluid weight gain, like in your lower legs or around your waist....this could be a protein insufficiency.
The shortness of breath is a common syptom for someone having too much fluid in their system and the doctor may prescribe a fluid pill to help get some of the fluid off...if this is the problem.
This sounds scarey for you and I would be a basket case...
There is a heart scan that they can do that is like a cat scan of your heart..it is called a calcium heart score test here. It checked my coronary arties for any blockages, took 5 minutes and totally non-invasive.
Keep us posted.
I am pretty sure they will be able to figure out what is going on so that you can be feeling better real soon.
If you get really bad the ER is always an option for you if you need immediate attention.
I wish you wellness.
((((HUGS))))
