All those sensations are normal. One technique to astral project is to concentrate on your heart beat. The beat often feels as if it spreads to your entire body. So that is normal and it occurs more the closer you get to sleep. The degree and type of sensations vary for everyone but I get the same 'throbbing' sensations you mention. You will often notice the throbbing speed up, this is normal to, it is not your actual heart speeding up. Unless you get scared in which case your heart will speed up to the same when you get scared normally.
As you get closer to sleep you can start seeing random images and lights, it is normal again. The same thing happens when you normally go to sleep but you are just not paying any attention to it and you don't see it.
Keep trying and don't be afraid, projecting is the same as falling asleep, you just notice what is happening.
