Anybody tell me about palpatations?

I kind of know what palpatations are. What I think it is, is when the heart skips a beat and the next beat is irregular and then it gets back in ryhthm. You have a strong flush sensation and a heavy beat feeling. I occasionally have them, maybe one or two a month, but today when exercising I had about 6-7 in a row and had to stop exercising for them to stop. Can anyone give me any info on them. I don't worry about it when I have one here and there, but I had quite a hand full this time. Someone please enlighten me.

If you think you are having palpations of your heart, please go and see your physician immediately.
