Hi Thereafter going through your query I understand your concern. Your symptoms of palpitations with shortness of breath are suggestive of having transient cardiac arrhythmias that needs a further evaluation. Further, taking into account your age group and the habit is smoking and Chat Doctor. Its highly advisable that you should personally consult a cardiologist and get and echocardiography and HOLDER monitoring done. Hope to have been helpful. Kind Regards
