Palpitations : Given your age and that you were evaluated and sent home, I feel like you must have misunderstood their concern. I agree. I do not think they would have sent you home if there were concerns for heart attack or cardiac arrest. If you are really worried, I would call the facility where you were evaluated and ask for clarification.
