Hello
Welcome to HCM.

You have problems of fast heart beat and breathing problems. You also drink a lot of tea amd smoke.

My first suggestion to you would be to quit smoking as early as possible. Also control the amount of tea which you take. Nicotine and caffeine are known to cause such symptoms of breathlessness and palpitations. Secondly there might be some lung disease due to your habit of smoking which can cause breathlessness.

Go for a chest X-ray and ECG. Also visit your physician.

Another important issue is that smoking and tea are activating agents and can disturb normal sleep-wake cycle. This affects your sleep.

If still you have this problem of disturbed sleep initiation, you can take tablet rivotril 0.5mg in night.

Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
