Feeling your heart racing and or beating erratically can also be a symptom of WPW which can in some cases be life threatening. Best thing to do is to go get an ECG done. About 2 months ago I actually ended up being rushed to hospital when my heart started beating like crazy in a weird rhythm (I was just sitting in bed at the time but paramedics told me I had a bpm of 189 when they go to me). I was diagnosed with WPW (wolf parkinson white) and ended up having to have minor surgery to correct it. The crazy thing is I went 26 years without ever knowing I had the condition but it only took one episode to send me to A&E.
Anyway, moral of the story is go get an ECG if your heart is doing weird things, even if you feel fine its better to get things checked out.
