When you have palpitations, have you checked your pulse rate or just observed the sensation of palpitations ?

Mark, thanks, yeah I was able to check my BP and HR during the last event and BP/HR were all normal. (124/72 and 67 bpm).
I also just got a portable BP monitor and have a chest strap type HR monitor that I've been using for my workouts. Also got the SpO2 finger-type monitor so will be able to see if anything is out of the ordinary.
After the dehydration theory failed, my doc is now blaming it on anxiety, which I don't really agree with since I've been dealing with anxiety/panic attacks for over three years now so I think I know what it feels like, besides I've been doing really well after quitting work in the last few months, if anything my anxiety is almost non-existent now.

Mairi, thanks for giving the actual name of the condition, at least I'll be able to read more about it, since my doc doesn't really tell me much.
I'm sure it's probably nothing to worry about, but so I was told after getting my concussion and made it worse by not taking it seriously, so now I'm not taking chances, or at least trying not to.
Do you get the prolonged (several hours) events? Or just for a few seconds a day?
