What Causes Heart Palpitations Along With Pain In Wisdom Tooth?

I'm currently experiencing frequent heart palpitations for 8 days now. A few days ago my wisdom tooth started hurting and is at the point now where I just want it out! Could the two be related? I do not have a heart problem. I'm a 54 year old woman and I have diabetes type II and on insulin. Thank you for your assistance, Margaret
