Is Cough,heart Palpitations And Shortness Of Breath Normal During RTI?
hello, I have recently been to the doctor after having 2 weeks off work with a number of colds. I was told i have a respiratory tract infection at the top of my chest (i can feel it underneath my collar bone) which has given me a cough. But now i am experiencing very frequent heart palpitations and shortness of breath almost constantly. Is that to be expected with this kind of infection?

* cough , short breath is obvious from the respiratory tract infection .
* Palpitation may be from the adjacent effect on the pericardium or stress
related with the infection .
