There must be some reason that you are unaware.It may be in your subconscious mind.But first your cardiac check up necessary.ECG,blood pressure, 2D Echo etc after clinical examination by a physician.However if everything normal just take a visit of a psychiatrist to make your self counsel about your palpitation and may some psychological cause found out and treated by behavior therapy.
