On walking short distances i tend to get short breathed and feels like my heart is pounding. is this some thing i should worry about?

Depends...: Need more information. It may simply be that you are deconditioned given all your arthritic issues,, and hence breathless and having heart pounding with even short distance walking. But one cannot exclude something more serious (heart related) without more info.
