Palpitations: This can be concerning and needs further evaluation. Please see a cardiologist or internist for getting an ekg and a holter monitor for getting a more accurate diagnosis of what kind of rhythm you are getting. You will also need labs to look at thyroid and electrolytes.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
