Heart palpitations are the awareness that your heart is beating. Usually the feeling is that your heart is beating abnormally: either skipping a beat, fluttering, beating too hard or too fast. The feelings can occur in your chest, neck, or throat and can occur during activity or rest. Most people have felt palpitations. They are common and usually harmless, but they can be a sign of serious heart trouble.
