Where I have been dealing with anxiety for so long I have got so out of shape. A walk around my house will raise my heart rate to 125/135. I had an EKG done on Friday so I k ow everything g is good but when my heart rate gets up I want to sit down. And that's what has caused me to be so out of shape. I have to get past it initially so I can get into better shape then when I walk around my heart rate will barely raise.
Does anyone else have this problem? I need opinions on is this all normal?

Have you mentioned this to your doctor, just so that he/she is aware? It is no doubt anxiety...and it is great that your EKG was normal...but there are things that your doctor could recommend.

A beta blocker, cutting out caffeine and processed foods and a slow, gradual exercise plan could all be possible discussions for you to have with your medical care provider.

You will get there...you can get started today with some yoga/meditation type of activities to help reduce your anxiety, and thus bring your heart rate down hopefully.

Best wishes, and keep posting!
