Forget about pulse rate, check BP

A pounding heart is medically referred to as heart palpitaions.  Heart palpitations can be triggered by stress, exercise, medication or, rarely, an underlying medical condition.

Although heart palpitations can cause worry, palpitations are usually harmless, since your heart is still pumping effectively.
