Answers:
You most likely are experiencing symptoms of panic--which kicks in when you are in the element of surprise. When something surprises you, your "Flight or Fright" system kicks in, causing you're heart to race and epinephrine to be released probably causing the symptoms you have been feeling. I'd say if you are in good shape, and you're cholesterol count is good, then you are probably just experiencing symptoms of this system.
