Check electrolytes: See your doctor for a thorough history and physical examination. Diarrhea can lead to dangerously low electrolytes, such as low potassium levels, that could be leading to your heart palpitations. If you're feeling severely weak, dizzy, or passing out, you should call 911 for evaluation.
