What Could Rapid Heart Rate With Difficult Breathing Suggest?
Hi my heart has beating really fast for the past three hours and now it's starting to hurt and I have had difficulty breathing. I have taken deep breaths, tried to drink some water and relax but nothing I do seems to help. For the past few weeks my heart has been doing this irregularly for a few hours where at some points it seems to stop or skip a beat. At first I assumed it was a panic attack but now I'm not so sure.
