It's never healthy or normal to get anxiety attacks from a situation that is not genuinely dangerous. For example an anxiety attack from being chased by a crazy dude would be normal. In any normal social situation, no.

This is a work situation and your current job and future prospects depend on your behavior.
That isn’t an anxiety attack situation. Even a job interview should not be. There are other means of making a living if you lose your job. Not if you get killed by a crazy dude. It is never healthy or normal to have an anxiety attack due to a work event
Well... not healthy, I agree. But not that uncommon, and if something is common enough it blurs in with 'normal'.
