Yes...soon.: Worst case scenario, this could be a heart rhythm disturbance. You need to be evaluated to be certain it's not.

Yes: More often than not occasional episodes of rapid heart beat turn out not to be of a dangerous type. However, since your are experiencing shortness ob breath with the episodes I think it is wise to consult with a physician. Often times a medication can be used to prevent these episodes.
