Hi,
It can be due to an underlying problem affecting the heart. Your symptoms indicate there is a problem in the heart due to:
- Deep venous thrombosis from varicose veins. This problem can cause difficulty in breathing, pain in chest and rapid heart rate.
I suggest you get examined by a cardiologist so that it can be appropriately managed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
