breathlessness can be the due to the blood loss, you needed a physician opinion after consulting with the obgyn since you have complaints of passing clots,USG to be done to look for placental bits.

24 weeks is a big pregnancy. You must have lost lot of blood during MTP. Blood loss itself may be a reason for breathlessness. Even now you are passing clots.
Next Steps
Please get a USG done. If Uterus is empty please consult a General Physician on Practo.

For shotness of breath need to get a Physician opinion.Passing clots after a miscarriage or a medical abortion could be due bits of placenta..which may be retained.
Need to meet your gynaecologis for further evaluation and a possible ultrasound.
