I have ben experiencing this since september. I also have heart palpatations. I can not take a deep breath without effort. I have to be sitting down to do it. Or I have to stop to take the deep breath. According to my pulse ox it never goes below 95. I feel this a lot on exerction. I was told my heart is fine. Was told my lungs are fine as well. I think they are really taking me seriously. I am scared.

@tammyjbell- Hello. I can hear how scared you are. It's always shocking when we go to take a breath, something that we have relied upon all our lives, and have trouble doing it!
Is your heart fluttering or pounding, or beating after than it was? Stress, exercise, medications, a medical condition can trigger them. Although heart palpitations can be very worrisome, they're usually harmless. Although they don't seem harmless at the time.

When you say heart palpitations what do you mean? Has anything changed in your life to bring this on that you can think of? What kind of doctor did you see?
