Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

Your symptoms of palpitations with shortness of breath are suggestive of having transient cardiac arrythemias that needs a further evaluation.

Further taking into account your age group and the habit is smoking and drinking makes you more prone for the developing these.

It's highly advisable that you should personally consult a cardiologist and get and echocardiography and HOLTER monitoring done.

Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
