What is a heart palpitation?

A heart palpitation is a fluttering sensation in the chest, usually followed by a feeling that your heart is pounding and racing. Heart palpitations are generally unpleasant, and are felt most often in the chest, throat or neck. You may sense an irregular pulse, like your heart has "skipped a beat." Other people describe heart palpitations as having "the bottom drop out" of their chest. 

A heart palpitation can be frightening because you might think you're having a heart attack. Palpitations can be serious because might be a symptom of a thyroid problem or a heart condition known as a mitral valve prolapse (see below). But in most cases, heart palpitations go away in a few moments with no physical after effects.
