What Causes Palpitations And Headaches?

47yr/F with heart condition since 36 suddenly experienced heartbeat like throbs in mid lower back after light excursion/rushing to appointment using stairs as well as feeling pulse rapidly in chest with no pain but slight headache and litttle pins n needles in left arm symptoms not felt before today. Could it just be anxiety also have had cough for about a month with thick flem but has been breaking up and minimal. So Doc must I go to ER or could it be stress related
