Symptoms of heart palpitations include a fluttering or pounding in your chest. Your heart may seem to beat faster than usual, or you may notice extra or skipped heartbeats.

These sensations may happen for only a few seconds to minutes or can last longer.

It is important to see your doctor if these episodes last for a long time, get worse over time, or if you have a family history of heart problems.
