Fast heart rate: Palpitations typically occur because of fast heart rates. Fast heart rates that began suddenly are usually abnormal and usually need further evaluation. On the other hand, fast heart rates that began gradually or have a warm up period can be normal. Of course, there can be exceptions to these rules.
