Went for a PR on dead-lifts today and got light headed with a weak heart beat after. Realise that getting light headed is pretty common but do you guys ever have your heart feel like it slows down? Scared me cause usually my hearts going nuts after a heavy set

Probably something like low blood pressure because of the effort
I wouldnt worry too much, unless it keeps happening frequently. Then, I might consider seeing a doctor as DCSpartan pointed out.☆ ☆ QUEBEC CREW ☆ ☆

Yes. It happened on a 1RM. And no I dont take any stims prior to lifting.
I might try carefully letting out air during the movement next time. Feel like it might be the sudden blood pressure spike due to the bracing.
Really don't want to let this get in the way of trying to max out. Was stoked that I could pick up 120kg lol

It's actually how the human body is designed. The vessels in your legs dilate to accommodate more blood than when sedentary. Your legs act as a secondary pump to pump the large amount of blood back into your heart. When you stop an intense leg movement, the blood wasn't pumping to your brains. It's not uncommon to see people go down, if they suddenly stop, after an intense exertion.

That's not exact.
In the first minutes of exercising, the body releases nitric oxide, wich acts as a vasodilatator. It contributes to better oxygenation and stuff like that. When you start exercising, you can see a drop in your blood pressure because of nitric oxide.
OP did a PR at ~120 kg. It's possible that OP made this PR fairly easily (since he is still a noob and at this point, a PR is never truly a max effort) and this "max" effort didnt consume too much energy...so his heart rate didnt peak and his body only needed a few seconds to recover and stabilize. However, this effort and the warm up probably release enough nitric oxyde to cause vasodilatation. If the arteries are wide open and the blood flood to the muscles and heart easily, it's not surprising if the HR drop during a break.
So yeah...there is a reason (and probably more that I dont know) to explain a drop in OP's HR during exercising.☆ ☆ QUEBEC CREW ☆ ☆

May as well report back. So I didn't see a doctor (moneys tight). But think Saintsqc was right, also probably just a getting used to lifting heavier weights sort of thing. Got a 130kg PR today and everything felt good. Also I consumed ~40g dextrose to give me a little energy boost before getting into the heavier weights. Seemed to help alot.
If you guys want to give me a form check that'd be just swell. When do you guys put on a belt? Noticed my abs/stomach hurting abit in my deads today, something I haven't really noticed before.

After watching your Deadlift vid, mine does. Maybe you've just been lucky to this point; maybe you're the one-in-a-thousand who can use poor form and still escape injury. But odds are that sooner or later, if you don't fix your form, you're going to suffer a back injury.
