It means that someone is scared. They can hardly swallow or speak, out of fear or intense momentary trepidation or anxiety. Someone who has defused a bomb will doubtless say that their heart was in their mouth while they were doing so.

Or someone making their first parachute jump might experience this feeling just before they leap out of the plane!

This expression means someone is feeling very nervous or frightened. They are experiencing strong emotions that make them feel like their heart is racing and stuck in their throat.
