Brief Answer: emergency evaluation and treatment. Detailed Answer: Hi, Extremely sorry for the delay in replying. As you have shortness of breath and copious sweating with little walking, arrhythmia should be addressed as early as possible. These symptoms may or may not be related to arrhythmia but I suspect a heart problem that is of big concern from the information you have give. I feel that the symptoms described by you in this regard needs an emergency evaluation and treatment. Hope I have answered your query.
