this is not normal at all. high beating heart at times if not controlled can cause breathlessness, chest pain, coughing, dizziness, low blood pressure, and may cause heart block too. you need to consult the cardiologist for the same. if the EKG comes normal you need to go for electrophysiology study too. moreover get 2D Echo of the heart to see for valvular problem.
