palpitations anyone

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced palpitations or fast heart rate in early pregnancy?  I'm 8 wks today and lately it has felt like my heart is going to pound out of my chest and last night for about 60 seconds while lying in bed my heart just started beating so fast.  It scared the crap out of me.  This is my second child and I don't remember any of this with my daughter.

I just felt that the day before yesterday while I was at the supermarket. I felt like I was going to pass out so I take off my sweater and breathe very deep. Not at night like you tough. I hope you find out why :/
