Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This doesn't look serious. However, we generally advise to see doctor for such palpitations. Your doctor would be able to explain you in a detail manner and advice to get an ECG and/or echo, depending on your history and examination. Therefore, consult the doctor and plan ahead. Do not ignore it completely, though it doesn't look like a serious concern.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
