heart speed changes

I dont know if I have posted this in the correct spot, but basically, over the last week, every single day I get this weird feeling in my chest near where my heart is, and it feels like a palsating feelings coming out from the chest area that goes upwards, it goes up my neck and to the front of my head,then i get like a pain sorta of simliar to a head ache for a few seconds and then i get extermely sleepy and disorentated and dizzy.
i also get pins and needls in my fingers, when this happens,
it can happy maybe over 20 times a day at any random time, i can be driving, onthe phone, standing, anything at all and it happens.
im not on any medications. I had key hole surgery about 1 month ago, I dont know if that has anything to do with it.
im am a 21 year old female.
if anyone can think what it could be or any suggestions on how to make it stop would be great if you could reply

The only thing that I can think of is very scary, and that is a tiny blood clot that has made it through your heart and lungs but cannot enter, and is blocking blood flow in a tiny artery supplying your brain.

See your "keyhole surgeon" pronto or go to an ER. Afterwards look up transient ischemic attacks (TIA).

Best,

Jack

Forgot to mention to take an aspirin a day if you can tolerate them, until this condition is over.

Also I forgot to mention mitral valve prolapse MVP, or mitral valve regurgitation MVR. An echocardiogram would detect this.
