What Causes Heavy Chest, Fatigue And Shortness Of Breath?

I have been sick for about 5 months. First diagnosed with UTI. Took antibiotics felt a little better, sick again. Kidney stones diagnosed and removed. Got an infection with symptoms of fever, chills, fatigue. Went in hospital on iv antibiotics. Come home stay on oral antibiotics. When I am done with that round -- infection is back. Back to hosp. for 5 days. Oral antibiotics at home -- take at home and when they are gone sick again within 2 days. Back to hospital for iv antibiotics. Oral antibiotics again -- use and when finished sick again. Check gall bladder have it removed. Run out of oral antibiotics get sick again. Refilled and can do a few things, still fatigued, heaviness in chest and back, short of breath with any exertion. Family dr referring me to infectious disease dr. Went to ER for heaviness in chest and back pain. EKG and blood work fine. All white cell counts are ok. Have had x-rays and ct scans. Not sure what comes next.
