I've been feeling rapid heart beats that go really fast and hit my rib cage, and it worries and much. this happens during. exercise, what is this?

Hard to say: But I'd be worried about a possible arrhythmia, as in irregular heart beat. It's possible that these sensations are related to benign extra heart beats, like PACs or PVCs, but nonetheless, you need to be formally evaluated.
