General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Your symptoms & presentation does indicate Cardiac or Pulmonary Pathology. Palpitation & shortness of breath while exerting suggest your heart is not sufficiently oxygenated during exertion.Fainting sensation does indicate your BP is dropping during exertion.
Kindly go through full cardiac assessment like 6 Minute Walk Test, 12 Lead Resting ECG , TMT, 2 DECHO , Pulmonary Function Test, Lipid Profile, Thyroid Profile , Blood Sugars Fasting & 2 hr PP, HbAIc , Vit D,Vit B12 under a Cardiologist.
