If you drink a lot of caffeine it could be related. Cut down & see if it improves.

well u can have a kind a arrhythmia, that's called tachycardia. it can be for various reasons, it can be anxiety, stress, too much exercise, some functional tachycardia that is not pathological, that happens if u're young and brings no complications or it can be pathological, like atrial fibrillation, or some sort of conduction disorder (inside the heart fibers). if u drink alcohol, stop doing it. try to relax and if u see it doesn't stop, check the doctor and tell him all ur symptoms. don't worry cuz most of the tachycardias in young people have no pathological cause.

youre probably having whats called a PVC or PAC (premature ventricular/atrial contraction). basically the heart just misfires too early, takes some time for the electical system to reset, giving it more time to fill up with blood which is why there is a pause or a "skip" next beat is more forceful. theyre annoying but tons of people have them, theyre completely harmless in the vast majority of people, but you may consider seeing a doctor about them just incase youre one of the few cases who has a heart defect or other underlying problem, but im willing to bet you just have benign (harmless) PVCs. i get them a lot too, sometimes i get about 10 a minute or so on bad days and it sucks, theyre annoying as hell. caffeine, smoking, alcohol, not getting enough sleep, stress/anxiety are causes in a lot of people. if they really bother you, you can talk to your doctor about getting on a beta blocker like Atenolol or Metoprolol, they decrease the frequency in many people. they didnt work taht well for me though and they make you tired so i quit taking them, but other people say they work wonders and rarely ever have them again.

Yeah, you have a heart murmur. It's common, and many people don't even know they have it. It can cause something called Mitral Valve Regurgitation, which is what you are feeling. Basically, in one beat, some of the blood flows back into the chamber it just left, because your valve is not working right. So then on the next beat, there is more blood to pump out, and that's what makes it feel so hard. Mine is doing it right now.
The good news is, it's not serious. The only thing you need to watch out for is when you get dental work done, or if you want to get your tongue or lip pierced or something. We have bacteria in our mouths that can enter the bloodstream and collect on the faulty heart valve, causing endocarditis. If you're planning on any dental work, tell your dentist, and he will prescribe some cheap antibiotics for you to take right before you go in.
It's something you should keep an eye on, because it might cause some problems when you're old. If you ever do get insurance, tell your Dr. about it, and he'll likely schedule an echocardiogram just to see how bad it is, and make sure there is no damage.
The worst part about it, IMO, is just that you are now aware of your heart beating, and even if you know it's nothing serious, it's still kind of disconcerting.

What you are experiencing is not a murmur, it is "palpitations". It probably is an irregular heart beat, possibly something called "premature ventricular contractions" or "PVC's", but only a doctor can tell you for sure. This is something that I would definitely see a doctor about.
PVC's can often be greatly reduced by staying off caffeine and certain medications. PVC's are only one possible cause of palpitations though. You really should get this checked.
You can learn more about PVC's here:
