What Does Chest Pain On The Right Side Indicate?

Hi, I have had a diagnosed arrythmia since July this year and take Metroprolol which has stopped the palpitations. However I have today had pin-prick-like pain firstly on my chest right side (only once) but now repeatedly on my left side of the chest in the heart area. They last only 4-5 seconds, and there are no other symptoms. Can you help please - should I seek medical help. Thanks
