That describes it pretty much for me too - and Synnoves's comments are similar to my experiences as well. When it first happened to me, I went to a doctor, described it and she referred me to a cardiologist who found nothing (although I certainly did experience an arrhythmia which was probably due to panic when I was having breathing difficulties).

I told my neurologist about it at my next routine visit and he told me that in the absence of another diagnosis it was most likely the 'hug'.

Soooo.....thanks for the arms up idea - I didn't know that one but I will certainly try that next time.

Cheers
