Hi
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.

This feeling is called Palpitation.Palpitations make you feel like your heart is beating too hard or too fast, skipping a beat, or fluttering. You may notice heart palpitations in your chest, throat, or neck.They sometimes indicate problem with pathological or physiological functioning of the heart.
Test advice
Thyroid profile
Holter- It records heart beat for 24 hours any palpitaion woll be recorded and we can see the nature of palpitation.

2d echo-To see any a phsiological abnormality in working of heart.

These tests will help to differenciate whether the palpitation are normal Tachycardia or abnormal arrythmias.Its not gas related.

Follow up with reports.
