While reading a comics ... I've encountered with the following expression: Pounding agony, which I'm not familiar with.
To give you an idea about the situation ... there is a man and there is device around his heart and there is a remote with his enemy hand that if he pressed on the remote the man heart will speed-up until it bursts literally ... and then the following is narrated:
"Pounding agony ... with every pulse-beat nemesis feel his heart shudder and constrict, threatening to explode from his chest ..."
I'm looking for the meaning of Pounding agony, but I would like to know also the meaning of shudder and constrict in the context here ... Thanks in advance.
