What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Heart Fluttering?
Recently I've experienced sudden shortness of breath (with little exertion) while simultaneously experiencing diziness and cold sweats (especially cold sweat of the head). When lying down on the bed I also experience shortness of breath with a need to sit up or stand to get air into my lungs. I feel my heart fluttering during this experience.

All the symptoms you describe classically occur in heart condition. I strongly recommend you visit your cardiologist, get a EKG and 2d echo. Based on that report you may proceed with stress test and start upon necessary medication.
If you are more than 50 years, hypertensive or diabetic, ot would strengthen my belief that the underlying reason is heart.
