Brief Answer:
You may need to visit a cardiologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should visit GP or better cardiologist.
BP may be OK but pulse rate may be elevated which is causing you to feel the heart beat.
You again may be having irregular heart beat, tachycardia or ectopic heart beat.
An electrocardiogram is needed or probably even an ultrasound.

Hope I have clarified your concern.
Let me know if I can assist you further
