Possibly SVT: Although the symptoms could be completely unrelated, the combination of an extremely fast heart rate (>150 beats/ minute) accompanied by chest pain or shortness of breath can be very concerning. If you can time the heart rate and are having symptoms lasting for longer than a minute, you should see a doctor. Blood tests can help in the evaluation, but a heart "event monitor" can record the rhythm.

Hard to tell: With limited information it is very hard to tell what's wrong. Are these symptoms associated w each other, do they occur at the same time, how frequently, how long... Are you anxious at time of occurrence? All these answers and many more plus testing (holter, event monitor...) are needed to make an assessment. Could be anything from anxiety to potentially serious arrhythmia. Best see ur doc.
