Kurt,
Some years ago I had something very similar happen to me twice during a three week period. After the second time I figured out it was something I had eaten that was contaminated with bacteria. Somebody had given me some frozen tuna steaks from one of the tuna boats. However, my heart was beating pretty fast and I had turned pretty red during the episode. Don't know if this applies to you, but may be a possibility.
