Depends : It takes a history/exam & maybe some tests to decide on a heart issue. The more common reason for a pounding heart after a bit of cardio is a poor basic fitness level.

See your doctor: A complete physical should be performed. Be honest with your doctor. You may require a stress test. Good luck!
