I felt like I was having more palpitations than usual also, but have since had two echos and everything is fine. In my case I think I was very nervous about the herceptin and was maybe just noticing them more than usual. Do mention it to your doctor, but hopefully it is just an anomaly. I have been told that the echo and the muga are equally good at judging ejection fraction and condition of the heart. I like the echo, it's very quick and no injection is needed. But I've never had a muga so don't know much about it.
