Rarely, palpitations can be due to serious underlying medical or cardiac diseases, though this is less likely the case with a young, healthy person. I would suggest calling and making an appointment with your family doctor. In the meantime, stop taking the Sudafed and see if the palpitations go away. I hope this has been useful. Feel free to write in with further questions.
