What Causes Heart Palpitations, Heaviness In Chest And Thumping Heart?

I have been getting heart palpitations for about a 3 weeks now. My chest feels heavy and uncomfortable and I can feel my heart thumping. I've also been getting hives for about the same amount of time, but that may not even be related.

I've had pluracy in the past, as a child, and have had similary incidents on a rare occasion in just the last couple of years.

Any theories?

Hello , you forgot to mention age, if you are below 40 then there is little reason to be concerned if you have no risk factors . otherwise get a cardiac checkup.
