Palpitations: It sounds like you have symptomatic palpitations, often times caused by premature atrial or ventricular contractions (pacs and pvcs). It is important to confirm this diagnosis by wearing a cardiac monitor, often called a holter monitor. You should contact your physician to discuss more.
