    I had palpitations when busy, bending down, tired, over eaten or stressed. Also sometimes after drinking esp white wine. I was diagnosed with SVT. My doctor has prescribed a beta blocker ( low dose at the moment ) and since I've take it for the last 2 months I've not had palpitatons. I did have the odd flutter over Christmas but that is a  particularly stressful time. So fingers crossed!! Some medication may help you. Hope you find a solution as it's a horrible sensation not to mention very worrying at the time!

    Your palpitations are "normal", Crissy.  I and many other SVT people (and non SVT people) have them all the time.  Many people have them without knowing so.  The encouraging news is that with an otherwise healthy heart, they're insignificant, and ceratainly not dangerous.
