Common,not dangerous: Palpitation are very common and tend to increase in pregnancy. A 24 hour recording holter monitor) of your heart rhythm would provide your doctor with an accurate diagnosis of your rhythm. Treatments options would depend on the rhythm and how much it's bothering you after a week or so. Of course, you want to avoid caffeine, nicotine, and other stimulants.

Hard to say: Palpitations are common in pregnancy, but it sounds like, with your history, you have other possible reasons for palpitations. You should discuss this with your care provider. That being said, the mean BP you quoted is unremarkable.
