How Can Palpitations And Shortness Of Breath Be Treated?
Upon waking up in the morning, before my head is off the pillow, I notice my heart is beating fast, hands are shaking, inside of my body feels like its shaking, and sort of out of breath. I feel scared, nervous and struggling with an appetite. I take no medications as I have no health insurance. Trying to control this with melatonin.
