Why do i feel like my heart is pounding but then when i check my pulse its normal?

2 possibilities: 1)you have rare single extra beats so that by the time you check your pulse, there aren't any more to feel. 2)you have "cardiac awareness" (very common condition) in which you think you feel skips but there aren't any. A 24 holter recording in which you press an "event" button with symptoms will sort this out easily.
