Hi,

I have gone through the events happened to you. VPC (ventricular premature contraction), breathing difficulty, tachycardia is also suggestive of heart diseases (ischemic).

So better to consult a cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and coronary angiography.

You may need angioplasty if there is a blockage in any of the coronary vessels.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar,
