You may be experiencing heart palpitations, which can feel like your heart is beating too fast, pumping too hard, or fluttering. Usually lasting only a few seconds, they can also be felt in your throat, neck, or chest. And while they might seem a little scary, they're usually harmless.17 Jul 2019

So I shouldn’t worry about it if it isn’t going away?
Usually, though, a high heart beat is not due to heart disease, because a wide variety of noncardiac factors can speed the heart rate. These include fever, a low red blood cell count (anemia), an overactive thyroid, or overuse of caffeine or stimulants like some over-the-counter decongestants. The list goes on, and includes anxiety and poor physical conditioning.
Ask your doctor to check your pulse, and whether he or she thinks it is too high. It may help if you learn how to take your pulse, and keep a diary. If your heart rate is on the high side of normal, and there are no signs of anything serious going on, your doctor may suggest that you increase your daily physical activity. Getting in better physical condition will tend to slow the resting heart rate; it's not unusual for runners to have very low heart rates.
