What Causes The Feeling Of Something Being Stuck In Heart?

a few weeks ago I WAS AWAKENED DURING THE NIGHT TO FLUTTERS IN BACK OF MY LEFT LEG. i have experienced it once in right leg. Last night in shower it felt like a rock w/pins in it was stuck in my heart. I had to take 12 deep breathes and it passed only after my heart did like a huge pump then it went back to normal. What could it be?
