Strong contraction: I like to distinguish between a strong heart beat vs. Fast or irregular heart beat. The second often requires monitoring which a doctor can order to see exactly what's going on. If it is a strong heart beat but normal pulse then sometimes it can be from excess adrenaline (catecholamines). This can be from coffee, anxiety, dehydration. I usually check thyroid function too.

Palpitations: Palpitations have many causes from anxiety through anatomic and physiologic abnormalities. The feeling of bounding usually relates to the volume of blood pumped with each palpitation. There is no simple single answer for the question. If you're bothered by the feeling should consult a dr. To see if the problem can be clarified.
