It is not unusual: for exercise to induce extra heart beats and therefore palpitations but given your heart history and operative intervention one would worry about episodes of atrial fibrillation that are undiagnosed. This could put you at risk for stroke in the absence of appropriate anticoagulation. You should discuss this with your health care provider and perhaps obtain a screening monitor for safety's sake.
