Why do i feel fast heart beat in my throat my b pressure is good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arteries near mouth: Running just outside of the bed that holds your tonsils in your throat runs the carotid artery, which carries blood from your heart to your brain. When you are excited or exerting energy to increase your heart rate and the strength of your heart contractions, it can be conducted and felt through your mouth/throat.
