I've been having a heavy feeling and some pain on the left side of my chest, close to my heart, since this morning. I'm really concerned that it could be something related to my heart, even though I'm only 28. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something else?

my dad has an 80% heart block should we consider open heart surgery or is medication enough to manage it

I'm feeling really uneasy because for the past 4 months I've been having these weird jerks and palpitations in my chest that last just a couple of seconds. They come and go without any warning. It's like my heart just stops for a moment, and it's really awkward when it happens, although there's no chest pain. I exercise regularly and all my tests like ECG, 2D ECHO, HOLTER ECG, BP, FBS, and Thyroid profile came back normal. But these feelings haven't stopped and I'm scared. Could these jerks be signs of something serious like a cardiac arrest or any other heart issues? What's causing them and the palpitations? I've even felt some pain around the right side of my chest and I'm worried does this relate to cardiac problems, or is it only the left side that's dangerous?

Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..
