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.

Monitor: It would be important to determine what type of rhythm is the orgin of your palpitations- most are benign. If they occur on a daily basis, a 24 Hour Holter monitor would be best- this would both determine the heart rhythm during your palpitations as well as quantify how many during the 24hr period. If are less often, a 4 week event monitor would be best, in order to capture your palpitations.
