Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are known case of heart diseases, we must rule out cardiac cause for your current symptoms.. So immediately consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test.
5. Coronary angiography (if required).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause palpitations and similar symptoms.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks
