all of a sudden i can feel my heart racing, why?

[erijon]

It's called tachycardia and can be caused by some external stimuli like caffeine, some over the counter meds or emotional stress or anxiety. It can also be cause by a cross circuit in your heart's electrical system. You need to see a doctor if your heart rate routinely goes over 100 bpm.
