What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Vomiting?
Last evening had sudden inability to breathe. Could not move air for about a minute then had to struggle. Once over and breathing, I felt like needed to vomit and had dry heaves. Vomited a small amount. I have been having shortness of breath with little activity like a flight of stairs. Swelling of ankles. Have been tested in past year and no asthma. Slight occasional dry cough. Left ear hurts deep. Not an ache

Hello There
After going through your medical details I understand your concern for your health and would like to tell you that your symptoms of shortness of breath with cough and ankles swelling indicate towards underlying heart disease which needs further evaluation.
Kindly get an ECG, Echocardiography, Chest X-ray, Serum Electrolytes and Renal function test and personally consult with a Physician or a Cardiologist for further management.
Hopefully this information will answer your query.
Kind regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap
