What Could Dizziness With Chest Pulsations Suggest?

I am a 20 y/o female. I have been getting dizzy off and on for about a week and for the past few days I have had intermittent fluttering and pounding pulsations at the apex of my heart that has been very frequent today. My heart rate is 90 and is usually around 75 and it increases a lot with inspiration and slows as I exhale. Blood pressure is normal and no fever. What could this be? I thought maybe mitral valve prolapsed, but I don’t hear the click when listening to hear sounds.

You should see your doctor to consider evaluating your heart for any irregularities in rhythm. He or she may offer a Holter monitor. Other considerations are panic attacks and pheochromocytoma.
