Ever since I atarted it my heart has had random episodes of quick beats to where it feels like two at a time .. Its noticeable and im wondering whats wrong. No change if anything other than my job.

Hi , two beats which you feel in succession may be because of extra beats , the change in job and early anxiety about fitting in new place may increase the stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol in the circulation making your heart pump stronger ( giving rise to subjective sensation of palpitation ) or have an extra beat . Both the situation is completely benign and just some relaxation techniques would help .
If it's too troublesome a 24 hour holter would be the best test to evaluate the same or and Ekg during the episode . Also for your age rule out thyroid as the cause if associated symptoms are present .
