hello,
It's a very close observation and it's an entirely normal, heart beating may your whole body to pulsate. It happens in everyone all may not notice it. You sit on a chair and one leg over other so that your popliteal fossa is over other knee, then you can observe that your leg is also pulsating in a similar manner.
Regarding your tachycardia, it's mostly a anxiety issues, still we will get answer after your monitor report. You should also get hemoglobin and thyroid test done.
