Palpitations: It's important to note your actual heart rate(taking your pulse) when you feel palpitations to see whether your heart rate is truly abnormally fast at those times. Anxiety can make your heart beat forceably giving the sensation of being abnormally rapid. If indeed you have bouts of inappropriate rapid heart rates(over 100/min) at rest, then an evaluation by your physician with testing is needed
