Eating : Eating causes a shunting of blood to the gut to digest food. This can divert blood from the heart and if there are coronary artery narrowing, this could cause a reduction in oxygen to the heart.

What are you eating?: Sometimes people can have palpitations after eating sugary foods or a lot of carbs. It is also possible to get palpitations from MSG which is in a lot of Chinese food and evening some Italian food. It could also be caffeine or alcohol. Keep track of what you are doing before the palpitations happen.
