What Causes Severe Fatigue And Chest Congestion?

I am experiencing serious muscle fatigue which came on suddenly two weeks ago. I had been working out to build up my muscles but what strength I had is suddenly gone. I am very weak walking. I am on lovastrain and am a diabetic. I have chest congestion...and find it is hard to inhale. I have incontinence - for about three weeks. I am now not able to drive. I live alone. I am 72 years old. I am most concerned. Thank you.
