You don't say how old you are?
Palpitations can be caused by stress, caffeine, exercise etc. However, the fact that you say you are also suffering from chest pain, shortness of breath and dizziness is more worrying. There should be a Dr standing in for your own, I would suggest you make an appointment. If you are unable to see a Dr soon, go to the Emergency Department as you ought to have an ECG and blood tests done to rule out anything which needs to be treated.
