Hello :()  I have had RA for 13 years and about 4 years ago had an episode where my heart started beating very fast and not in its right rhythm.  They shocked it back into rhythm at the hospital and everything was fine for awhile.  Then it started happening again.  and again.  My chest also feels tight...my heart beats really fast or misses beats, like a fluttering.  I am on medication (they say my electrical systems are haywire but don't know why) but it still happens.  I would definately go to the dr when you are able, just to make sure.  I feel like there has to be some correlation, but all drs say no.  What is funny is it gets really bad around my period, and so does my RA...hmmm...but I'm not a dr :)  It always freaks you out when you think your heart isn't doing what its supposed to!  Good luck with the Dr and hope your kids are ok???
