Palpitations: You are having palpitations, which can have many causes. irregular or rapid beating of the heart can cause the sensation you are experiencing. Sometimes it is just due to anxiety or too much caffeine, but can be other reasons, like Thyroid disease. it is best to speak with a doctor one on one
