Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Possibly it has to do with COPD and effort related palpitation. It could also be an angina. Simply watch the frequency and pattern of these episodes. If you have any effort intolerance then you must seek medical help where X ray chest, ECG,stress test and echocardiography may be done.
Take care
