What Causes Air Bubble Like Feeling In Chest With Faster Heartbeats?

Hi, I am a 25 year old female, 160cm, 50kg and generally healthy. In the last couple of days I have experience this strange feeling in my chest. It feels somewhat like an air bubble in my chest, making my heart jump/skip a beat from time to time. I have never had this feeling before, but it now occurs maybe every 30min. After each movement in my chest, my hearts starts beating really fast for a little while before calmning down. My chest also feels a bit tight, my throat feels swollen and I currently have a slow stomach. (I don´t know if this is related or not), and I also feel very dizzy and shaky. Is this something I should worry about? Is it a stomach problem or is the heart? I am not sure how to describe this to my physician, as all the symptoms are so vague.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Racing of heart beats with bubbly feeling in chest are seen with arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart). Arrhythmia, if not treated promptly, can be life threatening.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia or other heart diseases.
Sometimes gastritis can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but first rule out arrhythmia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
