Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, you need to consult your cardiologist and get your echocardiogram done. This sudden Shortness of breath can be related to mitral valve disease. However, there are other causes like lung diseases, allergies and anxiety etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
