Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, this is not normal.
You are having palpitations, tachycardia and chest pain.
All these are characteristic symptoms of heart disease.
So get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright bit first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
