is it something serious

im experiencing palpitations, chestpain and shortness of breath from time to time. these occurs at rest and even at work. Could this be because of my sedentary lifestyle or something serious? there is this one episode when i cant move my arms and i cant really breath and it feels like my heart is being squeezed. The sensation is the same as if im having cramps on my chest.

Please don't wait on this.  Need to seek Medical care as quickly as possible.  7 years ago I was experiencing the same thing and thought I was just overstressed with work.  I waited almost too long that I found myself waking up on the cardiac floor.  It was a simple solution that I should have been more sensitive to.  I currently am on Metoprolol BID and can tell you that I am very responsive now when i begin have unusual issues with my engine(heart).
