Get yourself to a cardiologist. Women get heart problems. That shortness may be an indicator of something else - yes, they may be shoving you out the door with a Z-pack and an inhaler, but for God's sake have them do at least some elementary stuff and tests on you for possible heart trouble. Do not want to scare you, but that's how mine started.
