You start to feel anxious, so naturally, your heart starts to race than usual, I think what you need to do is to practice some breathing techniques or try going to the doctor about this. Hope this helps

For me, it's a symptom of anxiety. My heart beat increases, my breathing quickens and becomes shallow and my body temperature rises (I feel flush in my cheeks). These are warning signs for me that anxiety is present. If I'm mindful, there are ways I can avert the anxiety before it becomes unmanageable. I'll find a spot in a room where I have some distance from others and focus on taking deep, slow breaths. This signals my body that I'm not in a crisis so that it can hopefully slow my heartbeat. If I notice my thoughts are racing, I'll picture a tranquil place in my mind and together with the breathing, I can usually get myself back to baseline.

If it mostly happens in social situations then it is most likely to be anxiety (however always see a doctor for a health checkup just in case). You would need to talk to someone about social anxiety. CBT or mindfulness have helped many people with social anxiety.

This might indicate that your having a panic attack, or anxiety. You just need to calm yourself down and focus your emotions. It might also confirm that your nervous or very shy, but getting to know the people around you, and conversing can help with this.

I think that means that you have an anxiety issue. Only a mental health professional could diagnose you, but it might help to look up anxiety disorders.

It most probably means you are socially anxious. Social anxiety can mean it makes you uncomfortable to be around several people at once regardless if they are friends or strangers and the feeling of being watched as you walk in only increases the feeling.

This means you have agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is a very common phobia in which the person feels some level of anxiety in a crowded place and believes that there's no escape from such a place in case of a fire or an earthquake or other natural phenomena. The best thing a person could do is seeking help from an expert to get over this sense of anxiety that is paired with high blood pressure, muscle paralysis and fast heartbeats
