Brief Answer:
It is normal to have increased beats during anxiet
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Heart rate is controlled both by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Stress, anxiety, fever and few other extrinsic factors are know to increase heart beat.
So if you have a rapid heart rate during anxiety, that is completely normal. Every one has it. But let me know if you have frequent such episodes. The cause may be anxiety disorder or rarely a preexisting heart condition.
Regards
