Brief Answer:
Please give additional information - reasons as mentioned.
Detailed Answer:
H,
The commonest cause of feeling a knot or ball in the middle epigastric region with spasmodic pain can be due to a problem with transverse colon, part of small intestine or stomach itself.
Even epigastric hernia on obstruction can give similar symptoms.
You need to get a clinical examination and relevant investigations to get an exact cause to get a specific treatment.
Palpitations may have other reasons related to the heart, anxiety or thyroid over-action that is thyrotoxicosis and needs a proper clinical evaluation, examination and relevant investigations to know the cause and get treated accordingly.
Please give additional information for me to assist you better:

Any bloating, nausea, vomiting, loose or hard stool/constipation?
Any hernia like lump that increases in epigastric region and gets reduced?
