hai,

palpitation occurs in anxiety and stress condition.as you got hypertension, condition like cardiac arrhythmia (Irregularity in heart beat)can also cause palpitation.

as you feel loud heart beat and hypertension indicates problem with your heart and related blood vessels.
considerable weight loss (4 lbs) in 2 week period of time, if even after proper food intake should be ruled out.
as you go down to bed (Lying position )normally heart beat can be heard by the ears.
feeling and hearing heart beat is little tough to differentiate.

kindly go for blood pressure check and ECG and with the help of a cardiologist to fix the problem.

thank you
hope i answered your query.
