See a doc now: There IS a reason for your symptoms, which has not revealed itself to you yet: anxiety, heart, lung, systemic disease?........ You need a full exam including blood draw, chest x rays, perhaps ECG. Call today for appointment

Unlikely to be heart: These symptoms, if not caused by exertion, emotion, etc are unlikely to be due to heart problem. An evaluation is warranted in part for reassurance.This is more likely if these symptoms are not caused by exertion or other precipitating factors. If initial evaluation suggests no evidence of a heart problem, you should follow a regimen of diet, exercise etc. Wish you good luck.
