More likely not: Serious and ur anxiety and panic attack may be the main cause. Get checked for thyroid and heart condition. Take care and god bless u!

Not normal: Without an examination and knowing your health history, i couldn't say if this is "just nerves". Please see your doctor for an exam and diagnosis. Be well.
