What Causes Pounding Heart Beats?

I ve been getting palpitations mainly a work. No skipped beats but what feels like a pounding heart however my heart rate stays in the normal range. They appear to come on after eating. I also notice them when i m slouched over at my desk. Could these be caused by my vagus nerve?
