3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually : Usually heart palpitations are ectopic beats of the heart. The heart rhythm and electricity tends to follow a standard path from sa node to av node to ventricle. If you have an extra beat or beats that travel in a circle then you will feel palpitations.
