What Causes Shortness Of Breath While Suffering From Rheumatoid Arthritis?

I have been having a shortness of breath over the last 24 hours. I woke up several times last night trying to catch my breath. I keep yawning trying to get more air in. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and in the past suffered severe asthma. I have not had any asthma issues for 20 years. I don t have pain. I do also have a low platelet count....around 70. I am 67 years old, non-smoker. Thank you for any information you can provide.
