as someone that has had anxiety before, i found that when i was anxious about something my heart would feel like it would explode out of my chest, being nervous about something or having an anxiety attack can both make your heart race, so yeah, its normal and if youre feeling this way and feel like youre not normal for it youre wrong :)

It depends! Sometimes, this happens with anxiety, during panic attacks or high anxiety moments. But if this isn't normal for you, you should definitely check with a doctor.

Under anxiety or heavy emotion, when it's pounding so heavily, yes. It feels scary but the heart is just pumping blood incredibly fast through your veins because of the fight-or-flight response to high emotions.

It's difficult to define normal. However I would say that it isn't normal to have your heart feeling like it's going to burst out of your chest. It could be a panic attack or something else. Best to see a doctor to get it checked out.

It depends on the feeling, is it a health problem? If so seek medical help urgently. If it's an expression of what you are feeling, well you need to learn to control your anxiety.

Its not really normal but it could be a sign of anxiety or of a panic attack, pay attention to other things going on with your body at the same time and talk to your doctor or therapist about it for sure!

While it is normal to feel like this if you're having an anxiety attack or just perform a lot of physical movement, I would suggest taking a seat for a moment and breathing deeply to calm your heart rate.
