Heart pounding even with no exercise!

Hi all,
Over the last month or two I've been slightly worried. My heart is pounding (rate is around 76-84bpm at rest) and I can FEEL it thumping hard. My girlfriend could even hear it thumping through a cushion on my chest! It comes and goes but isn't related to exercise (it's 84bpm right now and I'm typing this) and isn't related to stress. I'm not prone to panic attacks and don't have a stressful job. Nothing in particular has changed in my life since it started. I'm 28 and about 3 stone overweight. Another thing is that over the past two weeks I've started to get odd cold/tingly (not pins & needles) sensations in my arms and legs at random.

Any suggestions on what it could be or what I should do? Thanks.
