Yes but not serious: Palpitations can be part of normal extra beats for anyone. If they come and go lasting short time periods like less than a minute then usually, at your age, it's not serious. Concerning symptoms with palpitations include dizziness, fainting, severe shortness of breath or chest pain. To help reduce them, avoid excess of caffeine, alcohol, stimulants in cold medications, and reduce stress.

Arrhythmia: It could be an arrhythmia and you may need a Holter monitor to investigate this further. See your PCP for further management.
