Heart Palpitations?

I am heavy, obviously, or else I wouldn't be on here. But after just 10 minutes on the elliptical my heart is beating fast, which is normal but sometimes I feel like my heart is fluttering or I am having heart palpitations. It isn't my heart pounding, it's something different. Is this normal?

    I'm guessing since you even asked and feel concerned about it you know the obvious answer will be: If your heart feels like it's doing something you aren't comfortable with, see your doctor ASAP.

    Internet forum advice is not the place to screw around with potentially life-threatening issues.
    It could very well be nothing, but you don't want to find out the hard way.

    palpitations can be trouble, see a Dr. , stop excercising until cleared. This is nothing to mess with.

    It might just be anxiety, but definitely check with a doctor.

    I would check with a Dr... I was having palpitations a while back & ended up in the hospital & found out I do have a heart condition... Don't wanna scare u & I also had chest pains, hypertension, my heart was racing at around 150 bpm just laying in bed & lost around 30 lbs in a lil over a week so I did have other symptoms but even tho it may be nothing it's always best 2 go get checked just 2 be safe... Hope u get 2 feelin btr!
