No: Palpitations are usually not important in 18yo people with normal hearts except that they cause anxiety that you need to control. Avoid caffeine, stimulants, decongestants (with the letter d as they have pseudoephedrine) and if you can, avoid stress. Healthy diet and exercise will help. Do not worry.
