What Causes Recurring Palpitations, Elevated Pulse And Blood Pressure?

I have just received a report from a recent 48 hr Holter monitor( ordered from a new physician for me) as I was experiencing many episodes of heart fluttering, rapid pulse and elevated blood pressure lasting about 1 week before I called and also during the 48 hr testing. I have been told that everything was normal, no worries. THankfully, the fluttering and BP have settled down.... but no reply from the nurse as to how to interpret this episode. I am on Lotensin/HCTZ and have recently begun metformin for newly diagnosed NIDDM (A1C was 6.5 late December fasting 130). any thoughts..?
