Depends: palpitations refer to a symptom= a sensation of your heart racing or skipping or irregularity. Sometimes one can have a panic attack and "feel" the heart racing when in fact it is not. Best to correlate by trying to correlate with your pulse as that is an accurate reflection of your true heart beat. If your heart beat is fast for no reason,or skipping and irregular you should have it checked out.

Rarely: There are very dangerous heart rhythms that might cause symptoms like palpitations when they occur. So the heart palpitation is the symptom however the cause of the heart palpitation, very rarely, might be fatal. In most cases, heart palpitations are quite benign.
