Hi,
Your detailed clinical history is missing . What the disease you have suffered from? Multiple surgeries , chemotherapy , radiotherapy can be used to treat many sort of malignancies. Anyway your present symptoms not seems to be related to previous disease. Cardiac cause is most likely the diagnosis. You may better evaluated by an internal medicine specialist, an ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY may be required.
