Palpitations: I understand that you have no insurance but you need a diagnosis. This cannot be treated in a vacuum. Clearly you're having some kind of heart rhythm disturbance. Some are serious, many are not - but, regardless, you aren't feeling well. You will need to wear a 24 hr (holter) recorder, have blood work, and get an echocardiogram at a minimum. You may need a stress test. Treatment depends on results.

Call your doctor: The next time you have shortness of brwath and rapid heart beat go to the emergency room. In the meanwhile call your doctor and see how they can help you to see a cardiologist. Are there any clinics for the inibsured in your area? Perhaps there is a cardiologist near you who may read your question and arrange to see you. In the meanwhile avoid excess caffeine, nicotine, alcohol.
