NO: It is never normal. However, it can be expected during exacerbations of congestive heart failure when the pressure inside the heart rises, one can feel difficulty with breathing or chest tightness.

Angina : What you are describing is angina pectoris. It could represent a coronary artery obstruction. The symptoms merit a careful examination by ones doctor or by a cardiologist.
