What Causes Palpitations,breathlessness And Pain In Left Side Of Chest?

Hi, I had two energy drinks earlier which I usually steer clear of. Since then I have had palpatations a bit of breathlessness when going upstairs and a sharp pain (not too bad) in left side if my chest and in the top if my left arm and left hand. I used to take ammitryptine which caused similar problems and the doctor told me to wean myself off if them. I haven t taken them since April. Have I got anything to be concerned about? :)
