Unless a check-up has found an abnormality with your heart then heart palpitations are normal and, for some, can occur up to 20 times a day without the person even noticing.
Normal palpitations become a personal problem when the person starts focusing on them.
An acute awareness of it tends to actually cause it, since the locked-on focus causes tension, which in turn causes stress, which in turn can trigger further palps.
This article gives a good explanation of palps:

Alan, do you still drink coffee knowing they cause you palps?
