Could you have a normal pulse rate during a heart attack?

Absolutely: Some types of heart attacks can actually cause a low pulse rate. It depends on which part of the heart is damaged during the heart attack.

Yes: Pulse and blood pressure can be normal or also abnormal, that' s why we need additional testing to discern.

During a panic attack is it ok for my heart rate to be high Sometimes I go up to 140-160 on my fitbit but today I actually checked it on my pulse ox and it was 176. It freaked me out even more.. it slowly came down as I calmed down. Can this kill me?
I am 25 years old, 5'9 and about 185 pounds. I do have anxiety and panic attacks from time to time... I check my pulse and heart rate frequently. During exercise (and sometimes while resting) I feel a vibrating/whooshing pulse in my carotid arteries.
Previous heart attack. Normal bp. My sitting pulse will be 76 then i stand and it goes to 110 with dizziness. What could cause this?
