yah it was scary i have had symptoms for the past 7 months of being light headed and having a headache.but my doctor seems to think that its my high blood pressure i am on medicine for blood pressure i got an ecg done when this happened with the rapid heartbeat and it came out normal.
what do you mean by a transient symptom?
it was just weird because i was sweating alot with super high pulse rate and irregular heartbeat  and ive never had that before

Hello kristaface,

I do understand your concern. The heart beat is on the higher side. Are you hypertensive? Are you any of the medications? This might be also a transient symptom. Get an ECG done for further analysis.
