Consider yearly check-ups for any heart-related hereditary illness.  Though, at 21, I'm sure you would have already developed any symptoms.  Otherwise, drink less coffee, meditate, try yoga.  Changing your all-around diet can lessen anxiety and stress, which is what is sounds like you have, making your medication more effective.  Ah, the life of a Panther's fan.

Had a very similar situation. Tightness in chest, lightheaded, pain down my arm. went in at 26 and found out that I have a condition with way too many letters in an order I can't remember. Basically, my heart speeds up for a few seconds then slows way down. I go from about 140 bpm to 50 bpm then back up again. It will yo-yo like this for about 5 minutes then I'm down for 12-24 hours. Get's me all messed up. Anxiety and stress seem to make it worse. Fortunately I get about a 10 second warning before it starts.
