A symptom/perception: but not an certain indicator of heart problem(s). Since heart rate & strength of contraction are controlled by autonomic nervous system with strong emotional input, fear could be an exacerbating factor in perceptions. Suggest checking & optimizing (normal does not mean healthy) NMR lipoproteins, HbA1c, BP & consider getting a echocardiogram; being sure to get, understand & keep copy of the videos.
