Palpitations: Heart palpitations are an awareness of your heart beating. It could be from fast heart rate abnormal rhythm or just feeling your heart beating. It is best to check this out with a doctor who might place a monitor and do other testing to make sure it is not an abnormal rhythm.

Smoking or doing illicit drugs, prescribed meds. Caffeine. There may be thyroid. Cad. Chf. Post cabg. And many more. Please see a cardiologist. Wish you good health.

Palpitation: Is a symptom reported by patients, a sensation of rapid heartbeat in the chest. Causes of rapid heartbeat could be anything from harmless emotional conditions to fatal arrhythmias. So it is best if you have your doctor check it out. At your age, coronary artery disease is not very likely, but congenital structural heart disease is always possible.
