Felt heart palpitations(extrabeats)while hiking heartbeat was already beating fast never felt this.could it be that i'm worried about my pinched nerve?

Pinched nerve: Pain can alter heart rate, heart frequency and heart function. With a high heart rate is is important that you can be evaluated by your cardiologist to assure that there is no underlying cardiac problem.

Yes: A palpitation is just an abnormal awareness of your own heartbeat. The usual reason is that you have an abnormal beat or run of beats, but if you're paying particular attention to yourself it may be a novel thing to note how forcefully the heart is beating at the stress of your exercise.
