Suggest treatment for shortness of breath, cough and heart palpitations

Brief Answer:
Symptoms related to cold/lung issues,not to heart.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical problems and can say that your symptoms are due to:
- common cold
- possible pulmonary complications from cold

I do not see any heart problem.
Your heart is beating fast because of:
- lung problems and cold you are going through
- being stressed/anxious/worried about what's going on with you.

If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- Blood work
- Chest x ray
- ECG
- Cardiac echo

Meantime I would like to advise you to :
- take cold medications you find over the counter
- have more tea
- take more rest
- take vit.C to improve your immunity
- take 1 teaspoon of honey and olive oil in the morning
- otc pain-killers can also help

If your symptoms persists for more than a week or they become worse over that time you should go to ER or contact your GP doctor.

Hope this was of help!
Wish fast recovery!
Dr.Benard
