Answers:
Runs of rapid heart beats or palpitations can be idiopathic (which means without a known cause) which is seen most commonly in women, or may be due to an underlying disorder lying an overactive thyroid gland, hormonal changes in your body or certain changes in the internal wiring of your heart. For the latter there's a couple of things you can try: 1) Take a deep breath in and then pinch your nose shut and close your mouth and try to blow the air out like your were trying to pop open your ears 2) strain like you were trying really hard to have a bowel movement 3) Feel around your neck for pulsations with your heart beat. Thats your carotid artery- massage it gently on one side and then the other for about 15 secs. Now these may only work if your palpitations are due to certain causes of rapid heart beats.
You may need to have an EKG (which is basically visual tracing of the currents in yr heart) and have your thyroid checked out
