Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. Sudden onset pounding heart, feeling funny, high blood pressure could occur due to some cardiac condition and should not be ignored. I would advise you to visit a physician and get opinion regarding your symptoms. Get an ECG done to rule out any cardiac condition. Once heart causes are ruled out then other possibility is anxiety or panic attack.
Sudden onset episodes of these symptoms can be seen commonly in patients of anxiety disorders. Even in severe panic disorders individual have high blood pressure. Visit a psychiatrist for help. Medicine like low dose clonazeapm or propranolol can help to control these symptoms. Visit a doctor for prescription of these drugs.
Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
