Excitement issue: It sounds like your heart sped up and beat harder during the sexual activity, and you climaxed. It's not unusual to experience a pounding heart during sex and orgasm -- the heart is made to respond to higher workload during physical activities like this. When your heart is healthy, it does come back to normal in a few minutes.
