Hi,
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Asad Riaz, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.
The only way any blood pressure medicines may cause palpitations or an increased heart rate is if the blood pressure drops too low or if you get postural hypotension which is drop in blood pressure on standing up
I would advise you to get an EKG done preferably during those episodes and if thats not possible for you as they dont last long enough for you to get to hospital, al 24 hour EKG monitoring that is called a Holter is the way to go
I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
