Extra beats: Nothing to worry about. Quite common. Your fear will make things worse and could cause them to increase, yet they still would not be something about which to be concerned.

Palpitations: Palpitations have many causes from anxiety through anatomic and physiologic abnormalities. The feeling of bounding usually relates to the volume of blood pumped with each palpitation. There is no simple single answer for the question. If you're bothered by the feeling should consult a dr. To see if the problem can be clarified.
