What Causes Chest Discomfort Along With Dizziness?

What causes left side of chest to feel stretched, light headedness and just an overall strange feeling. Left side of arm feels funny occas. Has started off and on for last two years. Almost blacked out once. Went to ER. Told dehydrated. Had heart work-up. 1st Cardiologist found nothing. After more instances a year later, had more extensive heart work-up with holter monitor X 1 week, stress test and echocardiogram. Found mitral valve prolapse. Had two episodes this week. Will mitral valve prolapse cause me to have these symptoms where I feel like I need to go to the ER? I am almost 24. How do I keep from winding up at ER? On Metoprolol 25mg ?tetra 1/2 pill in a.m. And p.m. Since March. Was tired at first. Now, not tired but had two more episodes this week. Could they be missing something?
