Less likely: at your age less likely unless you have some heart condition by birth or acquired later. Most likely anxiety related. But it is always better to be seen by a Md and a proper evaluation will make it clear if it is simple anxiety related or you have a base line heart condition responsible for it or any other related cause like thyroid disorder etc.

Unlikely: Most healthy young adults who experience palpitations have perfectly normal hearts. Certain stimuli to the heart's rhythm center, like adrenalin, anxiety, caffeine and decongestants can triggers an arhythmia. Also, while almost everyone experiences a "skipped beat" or palpitation now & then, some people are more aware of it than others. However, if it's bothersome, please get medical help.
