Fast Heartbeat

I have had palps for 20 years. On 100 mg atenolol daily and xanax for anxiety. Have had testing over the years--a holter last July...all show nothing but benign palps...
Im sitting at work at my desk and just had something happened that hasnt happened before-of course I freak out---
I was so happy because I havent had any palps today--then suddenly I get that familiar feeling-the thump-then i feel my pulse and it suddenly speeds up, just stuck in a fast beat. Now, it wasnt "racing"...but it was fast beats---after the skipping and jumping--only lasted about 15 seconds and now Im back in regular rhythm...but it scared me BIG time. ANybody else ever had this?? I felt immediate panic when it happened....
