When i have panic attacks, my chest gets tight, i breathe harder, and my chest hurts. is this normal for a panic attack or is this something more serious?

Yes it is normal: when you have a panic attack it is helpful to not hyperventilate but rather train yourself to do abdominal breathing. This will quiet your body.
