Hello
Your history of illness is incomplete , still there are few question as history of smoking, whistling sounds during breathing , common cold , age , gender etc.
But still I will try to solve your problem.
Palpitation from last six months may be due to , tension , anxiety or fear or phobia ( psychological ) , if you think this is not a cause then please get in E C G and echocardiogram to sort out this problem or to rule out heart disease.
As you mentioned that you are also having phlegm and clogging or blocking , so this may be due to allergic bronchitis ( sometimes patient feels as something is stuck in nose or throat .
When such type of patient visit in my clinic I advise them to take monteleukast+ levocterizine ( combo pack ) one or two tablet in day according to severity of symptoms .
I also advise my patient to take "levofloxacin 750 mg" one tablet / day for 5-7 days .
Still symptoms present then consult a physician and get his opinion because physical examination is important.
Good luck.
