What Does Elevated Heart Rate Along With Shortness Of Breath Indicate?

I am a disabled veteran. The last few years I have started to, at random times and with no precursor, suddenly have a very large increase in heart rate including not a normal feeling heart rate that is accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness, and exhaustion. This has happened even when I am simply walking a few feet from one room to the other or even just standing still as is happening currently.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello sir,
it sounds like an abnormality of heart rate.

please note the mentioned symptoms can be due to heart or anemia, due to lungs, raised blood sugar.

it would be helpful if you can get few blood tests done like complete blood count, blood sugar, serum creatinine, chest X ray and ECG.

please get in touch with a nearby doctor as he will be able to auscultate your heart and lungs, will check your BP, pulse rate ,he will check if you have any swelling on feet and it's type.

till then you can try restriction of salt and oily food.
sleep with your head end high.

kindly revert back with reports if you can or discuss with your doctor or a cardiologist or a chest physician.
regards
