What Causes Heart Palpitations And Chest Pain?

Hi! I have been having heart palpitations for a few months, along with chest pain, but the dr and emergency room dr say it is just due to a pulled chest muscle. the pain is not so prominent lately, but I sat for 4 hours to get tattooed today and am now experiencing more palpitations and pain than usual. I am not quite freaking out yet.. is it just because I stressed my body out today?
