What Causes Palpitations While Suffering From Sinus Tachycardia?

I have sinus tachycardia and chiari 1 malfoation. I occasionally have heart palpitations that only last a matter of 1-2 seconds and have less than 6 an hour. Tonight on the other hand they have been much more prominent, not just flutters in the throat but a flip flop feeling in my chest lasting about 10 seconds. Is this something I should worry about or is it pretty typical for someone with my conditions?

Palpitations is a feeling due to fast hr which is called tachycardia. If u r told that it is sinus tachycardia it is due to non cardiac conditions like anxiety, dehydration, or fever. if fluttering is recurrent and last more than half a minute then get checked with ekg and 24 hr Ho;term monitor.
