Hello, Thank you for the question! Both your blood pressure and pulse are pretty fine with me. Most likely The sensation that you felt was the sudden palpitation, an awareness of your heart beat. There are different reasons for palpitations to occur and some of them may be harmless too. If I were treating you I would not be too much concerned about this as this has occurred only once so far. If you are feeling the same thing repeatedly, the would suggest that you get yourself evaluated in a clinic with an EKG to start with. Based on your ECG, your physician would be in a better position to evaluate you and decide the next course of action.
