Today I felt a slight pain near my heart, like almost pressure not really then went away. My left hand started twitching for only a second too.

Sometimes for no reason the muscles in my right arm start twitching for no reason i also have a heart murmur.

Very hard heart beat especially at night, lots of twitching, shaking hands & difficulty sleeping. Should I be worried?
