What Causes Rapid Heart Rate With Breathlessness?
I am having heart problems and it feels like my heart is literally going to pop because it is beating so fast. And I'm short of breathe when it happens. It usually occurres when I take deep breathes, walking really far, going up stairs, or shifting from right to left. This just happened recently.
