Heart palpitations are defined as undue awareness of one's heartbeat. If you are sitting in the car or walking down the street, and suddenly feel your heart beating in your chest, you are experiencing heart palpitations. Your heart may feel fast, slow, pounding, like it's skipping beats, or simply beating at a normal rate. Your heart beats on its own all day, every day. When you experience heart palpitations, you may also notice shortened, quick breaths, chills, or a light sweat.
