Hi
Welcome to the forum!
There are two possibilities that you should look at. One is asthma. This can cause phlegm with black particles. The other is smoker’s lungs. This also causes phlegm with black particles. Asthma is an allergic condition and can happen in response to an allergy to smoke.
Cancer of lung is also common in smokers. Nicotine in smoking causes palpitations and heart disease along with atherosclerosis.
Since you are having so many symptoms, it would be wise to consult a chest specialist ASAP, maybe immediately show your PCP and get a referral. You need to quit smoking under expert guidance.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
