Stress For A Long Time. Now Fluttering In Chest And Dizzy. Medication On Lipitor. Is It Heart Problem?

I have experienced a fair bit of stress for the past 5 - 6 yrs, almost all my stressors are gone and now I have been experiencing lightheaded, dizzy and a flutterying in my chest with the occasional ache in the left side of my neck. These sensations last for about 4-6 hours then I'm fine. I am presently on Lipitor. Could it be my heart?
