Mgt: There may be many causes of your condition. I would suggest an assessment of your cardiac and respiratory health. In many patients valley fever causes no symptoms. Unless otherwise contraindicated, I would suggest a yearly flu vaccination.

This is serious: At your age, new-onset shortness of breath is very serious. You need a full work up.

Respiratory symptoms: The Valley fever incident is not likely associated with these symptoms. It has rarely caused relapses but is not reported to recur. It is important to have this assessed urgently as you described severe difficulty breathing.
