Time to see a doctor: A young adult woman who feels palpitations should be checked by her primary care doctor (Family Medicine or Internal Medicine, not Ob-Gyn) to make sure her body is ok from a general check-up point of view, and to listen to her heart. It could be a thyroid hormone problem, or could be that her heart is beating irregularly for another reason, etc... Additionally, a cardiologist can also evaluate.
