Palpitations: No, it is not normal. Palpitations can be due to excessive coffee, anxiety, panic attacks, drugs usage, etc. It can also be due to medical conditions like cardiac arrhythmias, heart condition, extra beats or serious cardiac rhythm problems. Must see physician to see if further work up is needed.

Possibly: Extra beats can be considered normal. You should visit your doctor and get evaluated to see whether or not your palpitations can be considered "normal.".
