Heartbeats accelerate during prayer/namaz

Question:

786
Salam Alaykoum WrAllah Wb
to the friends of Allah and their families and to everyone at eshaykh.com

Question:
When I do my prayer, the obligatory ones, when I start and say Allahu Akbar then put my hands on my chest to recite Surat Fatiha, I can hear strongly and heavily my heart beats abnormaly, and I do not know why. It does that sometimes but quite often. When I finish my prayer it is back to normal, my heart beats do not accelerate and I do not hear them.
Everytime this happens, I concentrate even more during my prayer and recite the surats slowly thinking that something is wrong with me and needs to be cleaned ? Is their something wrong ? Why is it that it starts when I pray ?

JazakAllah for your response,
Loads of Salam to everyone at eshaykh.com

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Alhamdulilah it is a good sign that your spirit acknowledges being in the Divine Presence and it makes your heart beat faster and improves your concentration. It is a gift of faith, enjoy it!
