In the normal heart beat, a signal starts at the a specific point of the heart and travels along a specific pathway to cause the rest of the heart to beat.
Palpitations occur if there are any problems with any part of this process.
The palpitations may not indicate any serious heart disease but you should consider having tests done such as an ECG (to look at the rate and rhythm of the heart) , full blood count (anemia can cause palpitations) and thyroid tests.
I hope this helps
