"I should go to the mall...or should I?"

"Not able...to...breathe...losing...sight...of vision."

Three dots as a pause are best used when you are trying to use a colloquial style when you write something, and the character (if you're writing something fictitious) or yourself, would have a pause when he/she/you would be saying it out loud.

The second sentence has the exact same principle, but there it's not a pause to gather your thoughts or ponder on what to say, but rather the inability, when someone is physically injured and cannot speak clearly.

The term for these is an ellipsis.
