Even when the heart does something without pain or discomfort, it's quite alarming especially if it goes on and on. Sounds like your med was the culprit, which is good in a way because you can adjust that sort of thing.

since the beat rate remained low or normal at the usual 60 or so, the rapid heart rate conditions are the dangerous ones.

That's what I learned. That first event I had when I first got the phone showed it jump it from 60 BPM at 6:00 am to 125 at 7:00 am when I had the episode. I was just reading my laptop at the time. But, since the doc thought it showed just an extra heartbeat in there, she wasn't very concerned as she said those things can come and go. As to cause? Yet to be determined I guess.
