Dear
Palpitation is commonly occured when our body is under some physical stress.
However, in anxiety it can occur without physical stress.
Just observe the situtation when palpitation occurs.
If it is regular, get checked for various medical and psychological conditions.

Hi!
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com.Anxiety is a common source of palpitations.However you have to get investigated thoroughly to rule out cardiac causes of palpitatios,blood causes like anemia,hyperthyroid status etc... before atttributing plain anxiety as the cause of palpitations.Take care.
