Healthy heart: The technical definition of palpitations is "awareness of ones own heartbeat" 20 somethings often have a newfound awareness of the dynamics of their physiology and no real history of significant illness. A rule of thumb at that age: If you are not sure if something hurts, it doesn't. Coffee, alcohol, full stomach, marijuana, anxiety, good athletic condition will all cause a pounding heart.
