Brits claim to experience an average of 11 intense moments in their lives each year – with moving house, buying a property, and going through a break-up or divorce topping the list.
Some of the other situations in life that cause an increased heart rate include your wedding day, proposing to your partner or being proposed to – and a family feud.
A survey of 2,000 adults found that over half (57 per cent) enjoy such moments, with 38 per cent finding them exciting, and 26 per cent embracing the intensity of these occasions.
