to have one's heart in one's mouth = to be (extremely) worried, anxious or scared

In Chile is the same. To have one's heart in one's mouth.

Quedé con el corazón en la boca cuando supe del terremoto en Chile.

Gracias a dios toda la gente que conozco está bien.

Me alegro de que todos estén bien. Ha sido un terremoto muy fuerte y las réplicas también, por lo que oigo.
