Im a 30 year old female. is a resting heart rate of 76 with shortness of breath an emergency? i have been experiencing this for about a month now

Shortness of breath: Unless you are having an extreme difficulty in breathing, i would not consider this an emergency. You should see your doctor though and explain your symptoms to help you breathe better, you may need ome tests, your resting heart rate is normal.
