No useful info: except your age of 25 which makes possibility of cardiac arrest very remote even with family history unless there's a history of septal hypertrophy which is rare. Palpitations at your age occur for a plethora of reasons rarely serious. An EKG can stay normal right up till the moment you have a heart attack so doesn't help either. Your pic and name are female, bio says male. If pulse>120, go to ER

Unusual at age 25: Palpitations in young people are fairly common but merit a careful assessment by ones doctor. A history, physical exam, ECG and basic blood tests, including TSH (thyroid screening test) will give clues as to whether further testing (24 hour Holter Monitoring, Echocardiogram) might be appropriate. Sudden Cardiac arrest is rare but risk factors should be excluded.
