Exactly how much water are you drinking a day? There is a condition known as psychogenic polydypsia in which people drink excessively.However, you've noted that you are a bit obsessive in the excercise department so it is not out of the question that you have been drinking extra water to compensate.
The feeling in your chest could be heart-related, it could also simply be a spontaneous muscle spasm caused by excessive pushups. People do not normally need to do excessive repetitive motions in their abdominal regions to acheive a flat chest, I'm sure you're aware.
Do you have a blood pressure monitor at home, or sometimes a pharmacy such as CVS has one at their pharmacy counter and it also reads pulse?
If you are seriously concerned about heart arrythmias to the point where you actually physically feel consistently abnormal spikes and stoppages in your heartbeat, do seek medical attention. However, if you have an anxiety disorder, all the above can be mimiced in the same way. Nonetheless, if it gives you some peace of mind and your health plan provides for it, go get an EKG from your doctor if he or she feels its necessary.
