Following answer to your query.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You are reporting to have sudden onset of fatigue and shortness of breath. These symptoms are related to heart failure and you should schedule a cardiologist appointment.

If the symptoms seems to get worse you should go to ER.

If you were my patient I would recommend to do:
- blood work
- ecg
- cardiac echo
- holter monitoring
- chest x ray

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
