Brief Answer:
YES - for sure

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

YES
You need examination / probably investigations too – like Lung Function Test, ECG and/or Chest X-ray
It could be infection / absence of fever does not exclude! – no treatable cause should be missed…
It may be an unrelated / atypical event like Coronary Artery Disease

Good luck
God bless you
