Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From the history you have given about palpitations, your pulse skips a beat and heaviness around your chest region. Your having some form of arrhythmia.
It could also possibly be Angina.
You need to see a cardiologist and possibly do an ECG test.
I hope this is helpful.
Thanks
Dr. O. Michael
