I keep having moments where my heart feels like it skips a beat

Hello,

I have had this feeling a few times of the last couple of months.  My symptoms include:

- Minor sharp pains in left side of chest and arm

- Slight tightness in left side of chest and just below the ribcage

- Feeling slightly spaced out

- Achey feeling in left arm

- Left arm feels like a nerve has been trapped inside

- Warm feeling above left chest area leading to left arm/should

- When I clench left hand and release my hand feels like blood is rushing back into it

I have suffered from anxiety a lot in my life but it doesn't feel the same as anxiety or panics I've experienced before.  The feeling last for between 2 and 30 minutes.

Any ideas what it might be or whether I should seek help?

Thanks,

Paul

    Please go and get checked out by your doctor. Don't leave it. I thought my symptoms were just pulled muscles . And out of breath because of hard work. Don't wait if it's the start of angina when at rest the pain disappears after about 30 seconds . If your is that long you really need to sort it out. Hopefully it is a panic attack and nothing more . Just check it out. NOW
