Fast Heart Beat! SCARED!

I don't know what's wrong with me! Ever since I remember I have always had a very fast heart rate (115 bpm).  The last two days however it's been around 120-130.  Also shortness of breath.  Any ideas?

We need more information.  Is the 115 now at 120-130 an at rest heart rate?  Have you ever discussed with a doctor?  I believe a rest HR of 115 and higher should be treated.  A beta block is one common treatment.

Is there any irregularity, or is the HB just fast?

The shortness of breath may be due to Atrial Fibrillation or Flutter, which will reduce .the efficiency in bloo circulation.  You need to get you condition checked by a doctor.
