My tonsils swell up a lot. and sometimes i find it hard to breathe and my heart does this weird beating pattern. should i remove them?

It is unlikely that: your tonsils and your heart have any clinical association. You need to be evaluated by an ENT with regard to your tonsils and a cardiologist to evaluate your heart beat.
