Yes: The signs and symptoms you enumerated could be manifestation of serious medical conditions and needs thorough work up. There are possibilities of having hormonal , pulmonary ( lung ) and hematological ( blood clot ) and infection could be the underlying cause of your symptoms. I strongly advise you to see your doc and get evaluated
