Racing heart rate

Racing heart rate

Hi Doctor.  Thank you for this forum.
In the last week, at two seperate times, my heart rate started racing for no apparant reason.  Both times I was sitting still, at rest.  My heart rate had about 12-15 beats real fast, then when back to normal.
I've seen a cardiologist in the last year for irregular heart beats and had a angiogram and a stress echo.  He has told me that my heart is normal and that my arteries are wide open.
This racing heart rate occurance is new.  I am telling myself it is nothing to worry about, but I wanted to run it by you and see what your opinion is.
Thank you.

Dear Don,

I would recommend a holter monitor to characterize the frequency and cause of these beats. It is likely that this is nothing to worry about but important to know that for sure.
