Heart Rate Rapid, Out Of Rhythm, Painful Chest, Painful Breathing, Feels Like Pulled Muscle. Express Concern?

Why does my heart begin beating rapidly/out of rhythm at times regardless of my activity? Usually when I am resting I notice this. Also, I have been having a slight pain in my chest on the left side occasionally but usually it only hurts when I breath and feels more like a pulled muscle. Should I be concerned about this? Could this just be stress or hormones?
