The most common myocarditis symptoms are persistent chest pain and breathlessness.
but still makes me uncomfortable because I never get them
You almost certainly do, you just don't usually notice them. The heart is a chaotic organ and palpitations are part and parcel of that chaos. The very worst sign is a heart beating in perfect rhythm as it heralds heart failure - and no, you can't detect this by feeling your pulse. To quote heart researcher Dr. Ary Goldberger, "the healthy heart dances, while the dying organ can merely march."
Palpitations also tend to be more frequent when we're anxious.
