Through out the day i feel fine generally but sometimes i feel the need to breath in quick and often even though i'm not doing any physical things, i'm concerned i might have
something wrong with my heart or lungs..i don't know, apart from seeking profession advice which i will..could anyone shed light on these syptoms?
