Detailed Answer:
Hello!

I passed through your concern and would explain that it is quite a normal reaction to have some heart racing when on a stressful condition, including chest congestion.

The only advice is to have some rest and to try relieving your respiration difficulty.

This may be done by using nasal decongestants (in case of associated nasal congestion);

In case you have clinical signs of acute bronchitis (coughing and sputum), then it is necessary to go through a careful physical examination and additional medical tests including also a complete blood count and chest X ray study.

This is necessary to investigate whether antibiotics, mucolytics, etc. are necessary.

Once your chest congestion is relieved, your heart racing will not be a problem.

Hope to have been helpful to you!

In case of any further uncertainties, feel free to ask me again.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
