Yes sometimes. Palpitations are basically an awareness of ones own heart beating. They are usually a benign variation of normal but occasionally they can represent pathology. If you are getting other symptoms then having a quick ECG or really a 24 ECG would be useful to rule out any problems. Things like caffeine and anxiety can make the problem worse.
