shortness of breath and a rapid heart beat

I am a 34 year old female, born a blue baby at 12 months induced. I am asthmatic. Lately my heart beats rapidly when I wake up or sometimes for no apparent reason and I feel tired easily. I walk short distances and find myself short of breath.This has been happening for the past one month.

I would say see a doctor as well. If you are overweight and suffering from this while sleeping, it could be sleep apnea, which can lead to alot of problems in the future.

I'm not sure exactly what:"diagnosed a blue baby at 12 months induced" means. Do you have TOF? Based on what you have written, it would probably be a good idea for you to pay your doctor a visit and have him check you over.
