  5. I'm dealing with this anxiety thing, but it's mostly fine during the day. The issue is, for the last three nights, I've been having these heart palpitations. They last for about 5 or 6 seconds, and my heart suddenly starts racing. I'm just wondering, is this kind of thing normal when you have anxiety?

Yes, experiencing heart palpitations can be a common symptom of anxiety, especially if they occur during periods of stress or at night when your mind might be more focused on your worries. However, it is important to rule out any potential heart conditions.
