Answers:
Caffeine is a stimulant if is found in coffee, chocolate and sodas. When your drink these in moderation (For most people) they accelerate you heart to that of a slow jog or light aerobic workout. One or two coffee drinks a day for most people is no issue. People even build up a tolerance to caffeine to where it has little affect on their heart and body.
Now if your heart is pounding this is not something that you want to happen. You are causing stress on your heart and there could be more going on than just a caffeine rush. I would recommend that if this continues you seek the advice of a cardiologist where they are able to perform an EKG and stress test on your heart. There are some heart conditions that people may be unaware that they have, where they are advised to stay far away from caffeine and even chocolate.
What you are describing could be just a caffeine rush but you only have one heart and when you damage it it does not heal back like the rest of your body.
