Can bloating cause heart palpatations?

Yes: Bloating can be uncomfortable and adversely affect the ability for inspiration. The diaphragm is forced superior further impacting on a deep breath. This can result in shallow breathing which causes hyperventilation resulting in chest pain and shortness of breath.
