What Causes Rapid Heart Rate?

This is the second time this has happen in the last week, I feel my heart beating so fast and hard that it feels like it is coming through my chest, I also have a feeling of a strange pain in my throat, where it gives me of a strange sensation. I no longer drink caffeine, gave it up over 8-months ago and right now I am just sitting at my desk with no stress at all, what could be causing this sensation all of a sudden.
