What Concerns Does An Irregular Hear Rate Arise?

Hi, I m 32 yr old female. I have an irregular heart rate that I ve known of since I was 18. Went to a cardiologist. He ran a stress test and checked my thyroid. Thyroid was border line high. Any how 6 months ago I had terrible chest pain while lying on the couch. I thought it was indigestion but I don t think it was. My heart was racing and more irregular than I ve ever felt it. I didn t want to scare my husband so I didn t say anything about it. Well long story short recently I ve been getting dizzy at odd times and feeling nauseated. I ve also noticed my heart racing at odd times when I m jut relaxing( no stress) just watching a movie. Should I be concerned? My old cardiologist said I would need to see him if it ever started bothering me. I have no insurance so I tend to only go to a dr when absolutely necessary. Ty;-)
