What Causes Palpitations And Breathing Difficulty While Climbing Stairs?

I am feeling my heart racing more often lately. I feel out of breath easy...climbing a few stairs seems to have me more winded. After eating, my heart seems to race more. 13 gears ago during this time of year, we lost our 22 year old daughter to a pulmonary embolism. We lead a grief share group each fall & this year especially, we have 4 people in our group that have lost young children. With that being said, I m trying to figure out if this is more stress related than anything going on with my heart?

hi sir
you have to do some investigation to give you the diagnosis but for now try not to climb stairs or eating a heavy meal ..I would request complete blood count and Echeck.
