What Causes Shortness Of Breath Along With Severe Dizziness And Fatigue?

My mom is 57 years old and today has been suffering from shortness of breath, severe dizziness, she s unable to walk, stand, or talk for long periods and she s tired. This is not common at all with her so I m very concerned. She tells me she doesn t need me to take her to the hospital, but I m pretty sure that she s just saying this because she doesn t have health insurance and she can t afford medical care. Should I call 911?
