I cannot take deep breathes. Cannot hold breathes for long time. When I get in any argument or when someone shouts my breathing gets faster. Sometimes I can feel my heart beating fast. What medical condition I am suffering from? Os something wrong with lungs or heart?

Hello Lybrate user, please monitor your pulse for a week. If it is between 60-100 beats/minute, you need not worry. More than 100 beats/minute is known as tachycardia, and it can be physiological. If breathlessness is your primary concern and it happens while resting or doing simple activity, you can get a spirometry / pulmonary function test done.
