I've been feeling really off lately. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe properly, and I start sweating. I checked my blood pressure and pulse, and they seem normalBP was 12070, and pulse rate was 73. But for the past few nights especially, my heart feels like it's racing. I go to the gym regularly, I don't smoke, but my job at an MNC is pretty stressful. Could stress be causing this, or should I be worried about something else?
