Heart Beats VERY hard

I am not old I am in my early 30's and at night it seems that my heart beats hard in my chest, not fast but hard and it hurts up towards my collar bone and closse to where my rib cage meets. I am concerned and do not want to go to the doctor because they ALWAYS find more stuff that is wrong with you. So I was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me.

No I have not, but when this happens I do get flushed in the face and my hands are swollen and on fire, I do not know anything about blood pressure though....Can I buy an instrument to take it at home?
