Arrythmia: Hi. The symptoms you are describing coincide with arrhythmia, which is a condition characterized by problems in the conduction sytem in the heart. This means that the "wires" where the electrical impulses needed for the heart to beat are having a problem. There are many kinds of arrhythmias. Visit a Cardiologist.
