chest heaviness and choking sensation can be a feature of angina ...though 37 year is early age for angina but it can present at any age
please mention your smoking habits and sex
an ECG should be done for palpitations to rule out supraventricular (sinus tachycardia) or any other arrythmia
i would suggest you to go for a test called holter which records every beat for 24hours
a tread mill test and 2d echo cardiography is to be done to find any ischemia in heart walls
