What Treatment To Be Taken For The Gasping Of Breath?

I have afib and have been experiencing gasping of breath often. I am very obese and only 5ft tall and weigh 225 lb. I have a large umbilical hernia the size of a watermelon which has been operated on 3x in the past. I have had a stress test that was normal and an echo that showed some vascular blockages(medium). It seems like the hernia is pressing on the diaprham. Should I call a doctor.
