    Yeah, It probably is stress/Pressure on your heart, but it sounds like you need to get it checked out.

    With any prior heart condition you should not ignore pain in this. Better to be safe than sorry, at least call your doctor and explain the symptoms. They should be familiar with your history in this. They can best advise you what to do for this.

    If the pain feels very strong/sharp as if someone if sitting on your chest. Then it can be a major cardiac problem.
    You will want to go to the ER to have a 12-lead EKG done and also draw some blood to check on your cardiac biomarkers to see if they indicate any cardiac damage.

    But, if it is intermittent and not causing major symptoms, it can possibly be palpitations. Stress and anxiety can typically cause these things. If you are not feeling the major symptoms, I would suggest taking an aspirin and mentioning the palpitations to your family physician. And try to relax. Increased tension poses more problems for your heart.
