yes, it is normal to have an increase in your heart rate ( measured my taking your pulse at the wrist ). Also your blood pressure may rise somewhat as well. Hope this helps. I asked this same question about 3 years ago. Rick G. in Ohio.

Your pulse rate is normally between 60-100 beats per minute. However, emotions can make it increase. When you become anxious, upset, excited, etc, your nervous system kicks in as an automatic response, and raises your pulse. This is a natural "fight or flight" reaction, which speeds up your heart in case of need of more blood flow for a fight or flight situation

When you are angry, stressed, etc, your heart beats at an irregular pulse rate. This is also known as when your heart "skips a beat".

When you are happy, in love, etc, your pulse rate steadily increases. This simulates exercise on the heart.

it sends feelings to the brain and if your sad,depressed or even nervous it makes your beat faster because your trying to calm yourself. If your in a good mood, your heartrate will stay normal
