You seem to be having a heart block. This essentially means that the impulses within the heart that cause the heart to contract in a synchronised manner are getting blocked somewhere. A simple ECG will tell the doctor about the block, if any. Please donot delay consultation with your doctor. I would advise that you report to the ER, if you cannot meet your doctor urgently. Thanks
